As soon as you get married, you'll be reminded how you know nothing.

Without doing the conversion, just directly calculating cubic inches:
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.

A Chevy 305 is really close in size to a Chevy 302, doesn't mean it'll perform anything like the 302.

Exactly the first thing that came to my mind too. However, I actually really like the whole look of the car other than the 327 badge.
That makes more sense to me because at least then you're just rounding off to 350. 325 is a more round number than 327.

x2, or at least leave out the pic of the nasty floor mat. You'd figure the nicer the car looks, the more money you'd get for it.
Don't know if I'd really call an LS4 'fuel sipping', its definitely not the kind of car you buy for getting great MPG.

and your right its for sure not fuel sipping, but i think that has to do with that overly deep converter in it. once you get going shes ok, but stop light to stop light its out of control.

327 has more of a heritage to it.
ive also seen someone run 325 badges. its not a good look.
