It is a measure of the displacement of the engine, specifically, the amount of fuel/air mixture drawn in after each cylinder completes one entire operating cycle. Engine displacement is equal to (bore) x (bore) x (stroke) x (number of pistons) x (.785).

mushroom Also, to convert litres to cubic inches, multiply by 61. The "409" of Beach Boys fame would be 6.7L, quite large these days.
