No, you got it all wrong, it's 13961.8 CC's... Or 1163.48 CC's per cylinder, but if you round it out then you derive 1163.5 CC's per cylinder or 71.0011 CI's for the engine....and if you round that up like GM does then it's 72 CI's per and 1179.87 CC's and that rounded gives you............. and on and on and on and on and on and on an on.....





Sorry....
