Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. [1] It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the power (through mean effective pressure and rotational speed ) an engine might be capable of producing ...

The 224-cubic-inch (3.67 L) engine, the larger engine in this family, was introduced in 1917 for the 1918 model year and used only in the Series FA and FB. It had the same bore as the 171, but a longer stroke of 5 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (133 mm), giving it 37 horsepower (28 kW) at 2,000 rpm. Applications: 1918 Chevrolet Series FA (37 hp; 28 kW) [7]
The ZZ632's iron block shares a mold with Chevrolet Performance's ZZ572 crate engines, but the castings are machined to accommodate the huge 632 cubic-inch displacement. The bore grows by 0.040 in (1.0 mm), compared to the 572-cubic-inch V8s, with most of the displacement gain coming from a stroke that is 0.375 in (9.5 mm) longer.
During the latter years of production, 379-and-432-cubic-inch (6.2 and 7.1 L) versions with enlarged crankshaft journals were manufactured as well. GMC produced a 637-cubic-inch (10.4 L) 60° V8 with a single camshaft using the same general layout (bore and stroke) as the 478 V6. The 637 V8 was the largest-displacement production gasoline V8 ...
The 153 cu in engine had a 3 + 7 ⁄ 8-inch (98 mm) bore and 3 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch (82.6 mm) stroke, with two overhead valves per cylinder actuated by pushrods and a 1-3-4-2 firing order. The Chevy II 's 194 cu in six-cylinder used a 3 + 9 ⁄ 16 -inch (90.5 mm) bore, which by 1964 was enlarged to match the 153 four-cylinder's resulting in a ...
The Vortec 5000 L30 is a V8 truck engine, displacing 5,020 cc (305.4 cubic inches). Bore is 95 mm (3.7 in) and stroke is 88.4 mm (3.5 in). The compression ratio is 9.1:1. [34] It was replaced by the 4.8 L Vortec 4800 LR4 for the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra trucks and 2003 Express/Savana vans. In C/K trucks, the 5000 produces 230 hp (172 ...
The Ford MEL is a big-block 90° V8 engine family produced in various configurations by the Ford Motor Company between 1958 and 1967 in displacements from 383–462 cubic inches (6.3–7.6 L), and used in Ford, Edsel, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles.
