Dick, the previous 5.0 was actually a 4.9. The current 5.0 is a true
5.0 with 302 cubes.

305.117 = 5.0 L, using 2.54 centimetres or (1 centimetre ? 0.3937
international inches.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch and doing the math.
The 302 is 4.949L to about three decimal places. I used 2.54 but
2.5400050800101600203200406400813 is more precise. The real answer is
using the bore and stroke figures with and cid = pi * (bore/2)^2 * stroke
using inches.
