>get mad at us when we dont use metric
>get mad at us when we do

Why are yuropoors so hard to please? Why are they so obsessed with americans?

>>16132087
Our culture has gone to shit.

>>16132087
Smaller numbers. Plus most American engines are Japanese knock offs or secretly the same engine from 30 years ago that they want to seem newer (EcoBoost, Ecotec, any Chrysler v6).
Special credit to the Buick 3.8l V6 which is nearing it's 50th year in production.

>>16132087
Because America doesn't need to appease anybody other then itself.

You know you can convert liters to cubic inches and advertise that number instead, right?

Oh, right, you don't, because of the educational system in your country, apparently.

literally everyone but americans use imperial for their engines

what the fuck OP???

Why don't britbongs use pints to measure the displacement of their engines?

>>16132087
>>16132135
Because 5.0 is meant to be big stronk murican flagship motor and if you convert it to cubic inches it's a teenie weenie 305cu

If you want some mad respect you gotta have a 440cu or 426cu not a damn 305cu

>>16132190
its actually a 302. so its 4.9

>>16132190
305 is bigger than 5.0.

In fact, it's over 60 times bigger. Or 6 times if you want to be super autistic and ignore the period.

This is why.
It was to trick older generations into buying this new low displacement garbage by confusing them.

>>16132135
302 vs 4.9 (5.0)
5 sounds bigger in reference to literage.
302 sounds like a little engine because muh v8 big block hurritage.

We could also say 5000cc but we aren't that autistic.

Honestly would you rather buy a 2.2l, a 134ci, or a 2200cc engine?

literally what the fuck am i reading? the only example you can come up with of any japanese influence is ecoboost.

>Buick 3.8l V6 which is nearing it's 50th year in production.

But that engine hasn't even been used in anything since the mid 2000s? are there any factories on this planet still manufacturing them?

>>16132468
>ford's current i4s and v6s, chrysler's non-daimler v6s, gm's diesels

You're correct about the fireball though. It ceased production in '08, 3 years shy of 50.

>>16132397
2200cc sounds like Im buying a mad air cooed VW engine

>>16132221
M8

how do i make a 454ci engine into a 5.3l? What do I do to convert the cubic inches to a smaller liter?

>>16132709
Destroke I suppose, but would you really want to go from a 454 to a 322?

>>16132729

No, I mean if you have big cubic inches, can you fit them all into a smaller liter?

Don't ever get a 305 and a 5.0 confused again.
