Greg,

You wrote "Do most manufacturers publish swept volume as a measure of 
displacement?"

Simple answer?  Yes.

Displacement as published for automotive engines is the volume 
difference between the piston at the bottom of the stroke and the piston 
at tdc multiplied by the number of pistons.

The combustion chamber volume and the swept volume determine what the 
compression ratio will be.

Jim
