Default "468" emblems?

Wonder if anyone has ever seen "468" hood scoop emblems. As I recall, that's what a .030 over 454 scopes out to be. I guess I could try and machine some, but.....anyone make 'em ?

I've seen a complete line such numbers available that are styled exactly like the originals, but can't recall where. If someone doesn't beat me to the info before I find it I'll post back up with it...

Corvette Central has them. Search "emblem" under the C3 section on their site. I'd post the direct link to the exact page, but it you can't navigate to it that way for some reason.

Many of the Vette vendors sell just individual numbers. I dont' know if they cover all the #s 1-10, or whether it's just he numbers that would have appeared on a stock engine's displacement.

I used the Paddock last year for my 502 emblems, they had them in white, black or red. I used red, had to wait for back order but they were just what I wanted.

You can buy GM numerals in 4, 2, 7, and 5's (at least). Why not 'fib' a bit and call it a 472?
