    Bore charts and question

     



    I was wondering if there are any charts on the net that anyone know's of that tells you what something like .30 over is, etc. I don't really get all that stuff because I know it doesn't mean like ci or nothing. Hard to explain what I am asking here because I don't get this at all but I am sure some of you may know what I am talking about.
    Thanks a lot!

    Or should that be easy as Pi??

    Pi = 3.1416

    Volume of a cylinder = Pi * Radius Squared * Height * number of cylinders to get engine displacement

    Where Radius is the bore or diameter of a cylinder divided by 2 and height is the stroke.

    Who says you don't need math to be a hot rodder? Stay in school!

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Thanks guy's. It seems pretty easy to understand and I already understand it now. Thanks for the homework as well haha. I will check that chart out and do them and see if I know how to do it which I am sure I can. I will need a calculator. hah These days they have us use calculators so us young guy's aren't as smart like you older guys that didn't even have calculators back then.

    And Streets had an Abacus

    Actually Pi = 3.14159265 or there abouts

    Guess it depends on how significant you want your digits
