v6? - 245 v8? - 281 cobra? - 330 forumula - Bore x Bore x Stroke x # of Cylinders x .7854 = CID also i don't mean to ignore the rest of the post and i applaud anyone trying to learn more about their stang and what the numbers really mean (as im trying to do the same thing) but ive been up for 18 hours and my brain stopped working some time ago.

I think the 4.0 is a 245 c.i. ? I cant remember and am too laxy to look it up. The 4.0 is also a 2 valve engine, one intake and one exhaust. The 3 valve means there are 1 tiny intake valve and 1 big one and 1 exhaust. I think anyhow.

Your on the wrong web page buddy. It's called wikipedia, it's the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

And just use some conversion tool to find out that stuff type in "4 liters -> cubic inches" in google...

I've got a question along these same lines. I know the Gt's uses the coil on the spark plug where the six uses plug wires. I see the wires go to a box, is that box basically the same as the coil on the GT? What are the plus's and minus's of each set up?

boss 244 -> RE: How many cubic inches? (4/25/2008 6:33:02 AM)
If you actually measure the bore and stroke the motor works out to 244.6 CI. The motor was designed in germany, to the metric system, so it won't convert exactly to CI

If you just base it on Volume; 1 Liter = 61.024 Cubic Inches 4 Liter = 244.095 Cubic Inches
