C6 Hood Emblems?
Have any of us LS7 wannabees installed "376" emblems on our hoods yet?
Just wondering
Does anyone even make a set?
I had a 427 CI open chambered Big Block in my 1969 RS\SS Camaro in High School.
427 CI on the hood.
Those 427 emblems really used to make my day when I was a kid.
Driving to school I sometimes stared at those emblems more than the road in front of me.

I have not seen that anywhere, and there are a LOT of emblems posted here.........I don't know....427 has a certain magic studliness to it that 376 just does not seem to have.......wouldn't put one on my car....
I am sure that if this is your hearts desire there are emblem makers that would be more than happy to mock up a set for you........

I know, I know, maybe we could start a trend though...
383 and 440 on the Cudas and Challengers were cool way back when.
I'm trying to think of a personal touch that I can do to my new C6.
Like a Harley, give it some type of Character.
430HP is available at my DMV for a plate, and I am thinking of going wit that as well.

I was thinking again...
Maybe I can order a pair of ZO6 427 Emblems from the parts Dept?
When you think about it, this motor at 430 HP is pretty close to a early 427 Big Block Tri-Power at 435 HP
Does GM sell the 427 Emblems over the counter to anyone?
Of do they hold you hostage and don't hand them over until you give them a VIN # ?

But please tell us all here that you are not seriously considering putting "427" emblems on a regular C6?
Do you have or have you ever owned a flame suit? If not, that would be a priority purchase right about now....

I think 427 would work on a LS2 motor.If you take the factory rated 400 HP and you put on aftermarket exhaust and some type of air-intake system = 427 HP.I think it would look very cool on a C6.Makes sense to me.

I want them too...
I was searching last night for the same thing. I am going to get a stripe painted on my hood and wanted to have a "decal" that said 376 cu. in. in a 70's style font. (yeah, I am an old timer hot rodder)
I would prefer a decal versus painting it on, in case I changed my mind I can remove a decal.
Does anyone know of a company that makes custom decals?

I am no way condoning any ones actions here, BUT Gene Cully sold me the 427 emblems that went on my 427 Z06, they are held on with a 3M type tape so they would be pretty easy to remove if the verbal abuse became to much.

The Camaro had a 364 (LQ4), 1970-1974, the vendor is selling stainless 364 hood emblems, Dimensions Are 5/8" Tall & 4-1/2" Long,
The also have those for the 376 as well.
I do not know if they are a supporting vendor, if interested PM me and I will give you the link.
I have installed these 364 hood emblem and I think they look great! If I get tired of them I can take them off pretty easy with fish line!
