Default Combustion chamber volume?

Combustion chamber volume 58.5cc (OE approx 56 cc) measured?

http://www.cosworth.com/Default.aspx?id=1105747

Is the VQ35 a 3.36 or a 3.5 litre engine?

Anyone have any other qualified measurements?

pretty much every place I've looked sites displacement as 3498cc.

Check this out though:
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...e-know-it.html

Also did my own math... I'm not sure if it's all correct but:

95.5mm Bore, 81.4mm Stroke

95.5/2= 47.75mm radius
47.75^2*pi= 7163.0215mm piston area
7163.0215*81.4mm= 583069.9501/1000=583.07cc per cylinder
583.07*6=3498.42cc OR 3.5L roughly
???
not sure if it's right but it makes sense to me

Also got me thinking that combustion chamber volume may measure the engine at it's minimum volume vs. displacement being maximum volume. the ratio between these is where compression ratio comes into play.
