in^3 x (meter/39.37 in)^3 converts into cubic meters
alternatively
in^3 x (ft/12 in)^3 x (meter/3.28 feet)^3 also converts into cubic meters

IF you convert the numbers before or after you calculate, should make no difference. I would do it both ways, just to make sure it's right. Especially if it's for something important.
