Hey Terry....
OK, "0.7854" is a function of pi, accurate to at least four decimal places.
0.7854 = 3.1416/4 or (3.1416 divided by 4).
Example: Bore X Bore X Stroke X .7854 X 8 (cyls.) = Cu. In.
Your FIRST Example:
Bore = 3.1875 + 0.040 = 3.2275
Stroke = 4.0
Constant = .7854
Number of Cylinders = 8

So: 3.2275 X 3.2275 X 4 X 0.7854 X 8 = 261.80224
