Default Big Block owners, need assistance

Can someone with a big block measure their hood emblems and tell me the length and height of the 427 emblem.

Thanks!

Mine is apart (emblems off), but I could stick them back in temporarily if no one else has it.

Hans,

I'm just curious as to what size the 427 emblems are, how tall and how long. I'm searching for 383 emblems but the one I found seems a little small at only 3/4 inch tall.

Larry,

Thanks! I guess 3/4 tall 383 emblems aren't as bad as I thought then since the 427 ones are only 5/8. Looks like I'll end up going with the El Camino emblems since I would have to cut up the Mopar ones.
