When I went to school (dirt had just been invented) 1000cc's = 1 litre. 

More importantly ...61 cu.in. = 1000 cc.(1920's Harleys)
74 cu.in. = 1200 cc. (same 1920's)
302 cu.in. = 5 liters (American iron)
427 cu.in. = 7 litres

List,
I am trying to locate the formula to convert the size of my motor in cc to
US motor size of liter? What is the formula? I want to see the math for the
size of my daily driver to the cc Sprite motor. I have a 1994 Saturn SW2
(wagon model) and according to the statics it is a 1.9 liter, dual overhead
cam, 4- valves per cylinder, fuel injected engine with 124 horsepower. If
the engine is 1.9 liter and my Sprite is 1275cc  how do I convert each to
determine what is liter the Sprite 1275cc engine is or convert the Saturn
1.9 liter to cc?

Also how do I calculate the horsepower for the Sprite?
Thanks Linda
