Default Hood Emblem?

A friend of mine has a 08 Z06 with 427 emblem on his hood. I thought it was a pretty nice set up like that and was thinking that it might look pretty good if I put one on my 98 Roadster even though it is only 345 hp.

I don't have a 427 so the question is what is the engine number for my 98 that I could put on the hood? I don't want to put 5.7 - Thanks

There's a guy on ebay that does custom stripes/stickers. He did a pair for me, nice thin hood stripes that say "LS1+." Meaning the bottom is stock LS1, but everything on top is +. You could try something like that. Another poster "XtremeVette" had his made, and I liked them.
