Does look like a nice car, good luck captian!

It is definitely a nice car. Me being biased of course. I personally think they guy she have went a little further with cleaning it up though before taking pictures for an ebay listing.

The etched windows were supposed to be able to help identify a stolen vehicle. My 2004 came with it also. But it seems to me any thief can simply break the window and bye-bye etching.
The member I was thinking of is "red06ss". I checked the pictures I have of his Monte. It's not the same one.

correct its technically a 325 cubic inches but then again the ls1s not a 350 its like a 346 but ppl say they are. i dont think that liters convert to cubic inches to easily with out decimals and what not. gotta think about it like this a 5.0 mustang is a 302 and a 305 monte is a 5.0. 327 just sounds better then 325 even though its technically incorrect. and i hate when the stripes go over the roof too.

Besides the stripes, I can't be more annoyed by that 327 badge on the car. The 5.3 is not a 327.

LS4 bore = 3.780" stroke = 3.622"
Area of the bore = (pi * bore ^2)/4 = 11.22208 in^2 (using 3.1415927 for pi)
Cubic inches of one cylinder = area of bore * stroke = 40.64639 in^3
Cubic inches of engine = volume of one cylinder * number of cylinders = 325.1711
That converts to 5.3285 liters
(a straight 5.3L conversion is actually 323.4, even smaller than the 327, that would be closer to a 5.4 which is 329.5 cubic inches)
Also, just for conversation's sake- the real chevy 327's with a bore of 4.000" and a stroke of 3.250" is actually 326.726 cubic inches.
