Per-cylinder displacement for the 6-cylinder engine with bore 3.5 inches and stroke 4.5 inches is approximately

• A. 40.0
• B. 50.0
• C. 43.3
• D. 60.0

Answer: (C)

Displacement per cylinder is the volume inside one piston chamber, calculated with V = πr^2h, where r is half the bore and h is the stroke. With a bore of 3.5 inches, the radius is 1.75 inches, so the cross-sectional area is π(1.75)^2 ≈ 9.62 in^2. Multiplying by the stroke of 4.5 inches gives ≈ 9.62 × 4.5 ≈ 43.3 cubic inches per cylinder. So the per-cylinder displacement is about 43.3 in^3.
