Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on how to name these engines.
From the late 70s on, when American cars switched from cu (302) to cc (4942), Ford sold its 4942cc V8 engine as the 5.0 Ford Windsor, which of course should be 4.9.
Should I list it as 5.0, because that is how Ford sold it? Or should I list it as 4.9, because that is correct?

I think we should list them as 5.0
Like BMW is amrketing their cars as 750 but car have 4.4 engine.

Agreed, but with BMW, I would list the engine something like 750i (4.4 BMW etc etc).

I was thinking of maybe doing something like 4.9 Ford Windsor "5.0"?
