440 Engine in Liters: Cubic Inch to Liter Formula Included
Almost all of the newer car manufacturers advertise the size of their engines in liters. During the 440 era, it was all about cubic inches. This makes many people wonder how many liters is a 440?
A 440 is 7.2 L rounded off. The exact liter measurement of the Mopar 440 is 7.21030816 liters.
Keep reading to find out how I figured out the 440 to liter conversion. Also, you can use the same cubic inch to liter formula for any engine. I’ll also include a liter to cubic inch conversion formula.
440 Engine in Liters
There are two ways you can convert a 440 to liters. This will work for any size engine.
The first method is using division (440 to Liters):
Divide the value in cubic inches by 61.0237441
Using the 440 engine as an example:
440 ÷ 61.0237441 = 7.21030816 liters. Rounded off this equals 7.2 L or liters.
The second method is using multiplication:
Multiply the value in cubic inches by 0.016387064
Using the Mopar 440 as an example:
440 × 0.016387064 = 7.21030816 liters. Rounded off this equals 7.2 liters.
How to Convert Liters to Cubic Inches
Many of you with a newer Dodge Challenger, muscle car or crate engine may be wondering how to figure out how many actual cubic inches a liter engine equals.
Many times a crate engine lists their short block or long block only by liters. This info may come in handy just for curiosity or when buying parts or fuel systems to increase performance for a Scat Pack car.
Multiply the liters by 61.0237441
Using the 7.2 L 440 as an example:
7.21030816 x 61.0237441 = 440.000000037981856 cubic inches. Rounded off this equals 440 cubic inches.
