first diesel in the 6's

they did it with a 358 cu in cummins

[burnt_servo]

the 358 , is that the same engine as a 5.9 or a entirely different animal ?

[89silverbullet]

it is the same beast if im not mistaken. 5 liters is 300 cubic inches so 60 inches to a liter 5.9x60=354 with my red neck math so give or take 5 cubic inches

[JAyers]

359 cubes....is what a stock one should be.

[Begle1]

I read that 5.9 liters are really only 5.88 liters anyways...

[GO OVRIT]

....and 300 ci is 4.9 liters

[89silverbullet]

smart ass

[VEfreak]

next we can hit five seconds and then over power top alcohol.

[DTanklage]

I read that 5.9 liters are really only 5.88 liters anyways...

and thus the 358 cu in

or is that not correct?

talking new motor

not one with a bunch of miles on it

For a stock bore/stroke (4.02"/4.72", respectively) motor the math works out like this: 3.1416 x 4.02^2 x 4.72 / 4 x 6 = 359.447 cu. in. Cummins calls it a 359, Dodge calls it a 360 and we all call it a 5.9 .

Edit: If you do the same calculations in metric (bore = 102.1mm and stroke = 119.9 mm) you get 5.89 liters.

...and we all call it a 5.9

not all of us . . .

i still call mine a 358

(destroked it a little bit ya see)
