Historically, many car model names have included their engine displacement. Examples include the 1923–1930 Cadillac Series 353 (powered by a 353 Cubic inch /5.8-litre engine), and the 1963–1968 BMW 1800 (a 1.8-litre engine) and Lexus LS 400 with a 3,968 cc engine.
The first automotive straight-six engine was the 1924–1929 Daimler M836 3.9 L petrol engine. [16] Following World War 2, Mercedes resumed production of straight-six engines with the 1951 introduction of the Mercedes-Benz M180 overhead camshaft engine. In 1985, the Mercedes-Benz OM603 3.0 L diesel straight-six engine was introduced. In 1996 ...
The first of the family, the 3.3 liter engine's actual piston displacement is 3.3 L; 201.4 cu in (3,301 cc) with a 93 mm × 81 mm (3.66 in × 3.19 in) bore and stroke. In 1994, the 3.3 received a 12 hp (9 kW) increase in power to 162 hp (121 kW) due to a new air intake.
The engine was available through mid-1965, when it was replaced by the 396 cu in (6.5 L) 375 hp (280 kW) Mark IV big-block engine. In addition, a 340 hp (254 kW) version of the 409 engine was available from 1963 to 1965, with a single 4-barrel cast iron intake mounting a Rochester 4GC square-bore carburetor, and a hydraulic-lifter camshaft.
Fuel injected 283 cu in (4.6 L) engine installed in a 1959 Corvette. The 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 engine was bored out to 3.875 in (98.43 mm) in 1957, giving it a 283 cu in (4.6 L) displacement. The first 283 motors used the stock 265 blocks. However, the overbore to these blocks resulted in thin cylinder walls. Future 283 blocks were cast to ...
At the beginning of 1984, Ford Pinto engine displacement range switched from 1.3/1.6/2.0 to 1.6/1.8/2.0. The newly introduced 1.8 L engine used the 2.0 L crankshaft, so to uniform engine parts for the whole range after dropping the 1.3 L — the 1.6 L was redesigned to also take the 2.0 L crankshaft which had a 76.95 mm (3.030 in) stroke.
The car started out as a 1965 Monza coupe. The engine code listed for the car when at auction in 2014 indicates that the unit installed was a 164 cu in (2.7 L) engine originally making 140 hp (104.4 kW). [66] Power was boosted to 170 hp (126.8 kW). [67] The bodywork was done in steel by Intermeccanica.
The L is the first L engine produced. Toyota solely refers to it as the L engine, not the 1L engine. 2.2 L (2,188 cc), four-cylinder diesel engine. [ 7 ] Bore and stroke are 90 mm × 86 mm (3.54 in × 3.39 in), with compression ratios of around 21.5:1 [ 8 ]
