    Ford mass value for engine displacement

    I've read that Ford uses air mass to state engine displacement.
    Calculating displacement for the coyote engine I get .0015628 lbm (using Ford 100* and 29.92 inHg for dry air density).
    I'm confused when I see the parameter Engine>General>Engine>Engine Displacement at .00167 lbm?

    What have I got wrong?

    I get air density of .07090 LB/Ft^3 at 100*F. 5L is 0.176573Ft^3. .0709 * .176573= .012519 divide that by 8 and get .001565.

    STP - commonly used in the Imperial and USA system of units - as air at 60*F (520*R) and 14.696 psia (15.6*C, 1 atm)
    If I use air density at 60*f .08633 LB/Ft^3 I get .001685. I don't think the engine is quite 5L, 4.952L actually, which should account for the small difference. This value must be based on STP not fords usual 100*f and 29.92inHg.

    OK thanks, I bet the different standard temperature is the reason, I hadn't thought of that

    Yep, on the N/A engines, Ford uses a different temp.
