Special emblems

I finally found this company that will custom make any emblems, many sizes and fonts available. Just thought I'd pass this along for others to see with custom features. Here's mine and they did a great job!

I think it is his CID.

Thanks for the info, might need to contact them and ask about emblems for my small (in comparison to yours!) 468.

Yes, that does make since. But there are engines out there with that and more horse power. The most hp I ever had when I was younger was a little over 400. These were for stop light races. (Back in the 60's). Drag main street at night and pull up to another hot car or truck and go for it. Lots of fun but back then we did not think of the danger. To be honest-Just did not think!

"540" is the cubic inches. This is a lower compression motor (9.4-1) so it's estimated between 620-650hp.

I would have loved to have that much horse power at the stop light.

Airmale,

Did you finish up your Vendor's OD install? If so, how does it run?

BTW, 600+ hp don't do much, if it's 'stuck' on that cool lift. j/k

Sad, but the truck is still just camped out in the garage. I have been pouring 65 yards of concrete for my parking area. Hope to have good news soon.
