uve got to be kidding me.....
302 cubic inches or 5.0 litres of displacement... engine displacement is the total volume of combustable air/fuel that an engine can use in one complete cycle
a s/c forces air into ur engine so that you get more power more air=more power
same w/ a turbo just exhaust driven not engine driven like a s/c
horse power is basically a unit of measurement
1 horsepower = 745.69 watts of power
torque is basically a moment (engineers would understand what a moment is as i am majoring in that) or rotational force

and liters means that the displacement of an engine is "how ever many" liters. example if you turn the crank a certain amount of times it wound take in how ever many liters of air.
EDIT: u've got a long way to go

i think your best bet would be to pick upa basic 5L ford engine magazine. that will point out all the parts and tell you what they do. rather then having a 100 page thread on tell you what everything is
