When it comes to the supercharged engines, there is another term that comes into play While our 231 motors are 3800 CC's or 3.8 liter, the supercharged engine has an Effective Displacement significantly higher. Most stock L67 engines here outflow most typical V8 engines, making their effective displacement far higher than the 3.8 liter mark.
