    The volume of a single cylinder is pi x radius squared x height. For an 8 cylinder, multiply by the number of cylinders.

    bore of a 283 is 3.875 and stroke is 3 inches

    grab your calculator and GO

    So, did you get the math figured out? Just for s's & g's, I'll let the cat out of the bag: we used to call that a 292.
