Therefore 1ci = ~16.387cc. Therefore 351ci = 351 x 16.387 = 5751.8ci. Technically speaking, because my smallest number of significant digits is 3 (in the 351) then I can only really say 351 x 16.387 = 5.75l (or 5.75 cubic decimetres), which still rounds up to 5.8L, however as said before we are technically right in calling it 5.75L.

Of course we're presuming these engines displace exactly 351.00/302.00ci (i^3) So some published cm^3 measurments may just have been measures more accurately.
