Take your bore squared (multiplied by itself) times your stroke times 0.7854 times the number of cylinders in your engine to arrive at your cubic inches (cid). Here is that formula simplified: (bore) x (bore) x (stroke) x 0.7854 x (# of cylinders) = cubic inch displacement.
4.312 bore x 3.50 stroke.
a Ford 400 had a 4 inch bore and 4 inch stroke. Simplest math motor EVER!! Given 4" bore x 4" stroke x pi (3.14) x 8 cylinders = 402 cubic inches. Bore this thing out .060 and you get: 4.060 x 4 x 3.14 x 8 = 408 cubic inches.
bore= 4.125" stroke=3.75" multiply them like this, first get the circular area of the cylinder which is PI *r squared. so, pi (3.14159)x radius squared (half of the bore, squared)(2.0625)x(2.0625)= 13.3640. then multiply that by distance traveled, or stroke, so, 13.3640 x stroke (3.75) x number of cylinders (eight here) (8) = 400.92 cubic inches
Bore x stroke is 4 x 3.96
bore is the diameter of the piston and stroke is the length the piston moves in the cylinder.for example if bore x stroke is 1x3 then 1 is the diameter of the piston and 3 is the length of the cylinder.if bore is greater than stroke then it is a short stroke engine.
rule of thumb here anything under 400 ci adds 5 cubic inch per .03 over bore. at 400 and over cubic inch, every .03 overbore adds 6 cubic inch. heres a formula bore X bore X stroke X number of cylinders x .7854 = cubic inch 427 chevy 4.25 bore 3.76 stroke =426.72 CI
.7853x bore x bore x stroke x #of clyinders
4inch bore 3.25 stroke formula bore x bore times stroke times .7854= cid
The bore & stroke of each cylinder. bore X bore X 0.7854 X stroke X numbers of cylinders = example 4.001 X 4.001 X 0.7854 X 3.480 X 8 = 350 cubic inches.
It refers to the throws of the crankshaft/distance the piston moves. It usually is compared to the bore of the engine. An example a 302 4"bore x 3"stroke is a short stroke motor, by comparison a 5.4L ford v8 3.552" bore x 4.165" stroke.
Bore = the (internal) diameter of the cylnder hole in the engine block. Stroke = the distance the piston travels up (or down) the bore during its' cycle. If you multiply the bore dimension by the stroke dimension you will get the volumetric displacement of that cylinder. thus, Vd = (3.1416/4) (dia.) squared x Stroke
Bore x stroke
