1 cubit is 17.5 inches.
Ark Measurements Cubits
Length 300 cubits: 516.25 ft (157.35 m)
Width (Beam) 50 cubits: 86 ft (26.2 m)
Height 30 cubits : 51.6 ft (15.7 m)
So the volume is 2,290,911 cubic feet or 64,724 cubic meters, or 450,000 cubic cubits

The different Jewish cubits are generally borrowed either from Babylonians, Greeks or Romans.
In ancient Israel during the First Temple period, the cubit was 428.1 mm.
During the Second Temple period, a cubit of about 444.5 mm was in general use, but in the sacred areas of the temple a special cubit of 437.6 mm seems to have been used instead.
I would guess that the closest measurement for the Ark would be that of the First Temple Period.

The cubit was defined as the distance from a mans elbow to the tips of his fingers. Since men come in different sizes the cubit cannot be defined in precise terms.
Can you imagine the mess that would have resulted if Noah had subcontracted the build of different parts of the arc?
