You know the bore and stroke so find the area of the bore multiply by stroke then multiply by 6 cylinders and that is the displacement.

It's not even that hard. We already know the displacement is 3400 cubic centimeters.

1 in = 2.54 cm

cube both sides: 1 cubic inch = 16.387 cc

Code:
3400 cc --------------- = cubic in 16.387 cc

207.5 cubic inches

BTW, 2.2L is 134 cubic inches and 2.4L is 146 cubic inches.

If anyone wants to find out how many cubic light years are in a can of pop or something like that, I can do that too... B)

The 3400 hundred is usually a rounded number, but that way works to.

Touche...from one of GM's pages:

GM Page about the 3400

They list the displacement as 3350cc. That only calculates out to 204.43 cubic inches. So 205 still seems high, but is much better than the 207.

They also list bore and stroke as 92x84mm, so the volume of the cylinder would be:

pi * bore radius^2 * stroke = 3.14 * 46^2 * 84 * 6 cylinders = 3350395 cubic mm

So there's the proof for the 3350cc.

Bore and stroke in inches is 3.622 x 3.307

Displacement that way calculates out to 34.07 per cylinder, 204.44 total.

So really, it's not quite 205, but it would depend on how accurate 99Alero needs it.

And FYI, a can of pop is .000000000000000375 cubic light years. I just couldn't help myself. :P

nice calculations though :thumbsup:

Bore = 92.00mm
Stroke = 84.00mm
Displacement = 3350cc or 3.35L or 204.4cid

PS: Chevy's famous "350" small block V8 is really a "346"

Yeah, I'd say 205. 207 would be 3392cc. Seems like they took the 3.4L and did the conversion (like I did the first time). But I'd go with 205 cuz all the info on that GM site calculates out to 204.4 cubic inches.

There are 60 cubic inches in 1 liter.

60 x 3.4= 204

204 divided by 60= 3.4

Yes, but as we already went over...

The actual displacement is 3.350L, not 3.4L.

BTW, there are 61 cubic inches in 1 liter.

Sorry... I think that the pop can is great. You can make it look even better by saying it's 3.75 x 10 ^ -16 cubic light years! It's easier to remember that way... that is if you really want people to look at you funny.

What can I say! Odd facts are great!

You know... looking at it like that... I think you've made an error in your calculation.... a light year is 9.227 x 10 ^ 15 m. Cubed = 7.856 x 10 ^ 47 m^3. One pop can = 335 cm ^ 3 (based on 1 ml = 1 cm^3), which is equal to 0.000335 m^3. Thus, taking

3.35 x 10 ^ -4 m^3
7.86 x 10 ^ 47 m^3/ly^3

= 4.26 x 10 ^ -52 cubic lightyears in a can of pop


Sorry... the scientist in me couldn't help it...

61 Cubic Inches per liter of displacement. 61 * 3.4 = 207.4, GM lists it as a 207, as is the 3.8 = 231 and the 3.1 = 189.
You have a 207 Big Block

That's just a rough estimate though EatonBlower, it's not exactly 61cui per liter
