What is the math formula for converting cubic inches to liters and vice versa?

you take the one you know and just solve for X and it'll get you close. ie:

5.0 5.8
--- = ---
302 X


(5.8)(302)
---------- = X = 350.3 or 351.
5.0


Idk if that's what you wanted to know or not, i just wanted to type an equation

B x B x S x 0.7854 x (number of cylinders)

B=bore
S=stroke

so.... 4.0 x 4.0 x 3 x 0.7854 x8 =301.6
