They look nice, but I guess I'm getting "Older" and more conservative. I like the 400. Most don't know what it means, but that's OK; most arn't worth talking too. LOL

Can you share the process? I would like to make a set that say 370 for my swap

It's a long drawn out tedious process, but heres the short version. I took a 400 and a 396 emblem and made a mold from them. Then I cast resin copies from the molds. The resin copies are easier to glue together than using the actual pot metal emblems. After that I cut the 396 emblem after the 3, then cut the 6 off and glued it to the first part. Then took the 400 emblem and cut the 4 off of it and glued it to the 3 and the 6. Once it was all glued together, I made a mold from it, and cast a copie of the 364 emblem and did some final clean up on it, removing the lines left from where the pieces were glued together. After it was all cleaned up, I made yet another mold only this one makes better copies. They aren't perfect, and if you really get up close and personal looking at it you can still see some lines in it in the painted black part, but you have to really be looking for it. I was going to have them painted in chrome paint (there was a place around here that could paint anything to look like chrome, the same chrome that dash bezels are painted with), but I sold the truck and never did.

THe problem you're going to have is that there is no production truck emblem that has a 7 in it. Not sure what to tell you to do about that.

Do you happen to still have the mold from the 364 emblems? I might be interested in a couple of those. Obviously my build is a 6.0L .030 over but 364 is close enough fore if the 370 is that much more work.

My friend 3D Printed his custom emblems(ABS Plastic). He hasn't finished painting them yet. When he finishes them ill add the pics to the website.

Very cool! This reminds me of the dash emblem I made years ago for my '82 Z28 when I put a 383 in it. I copied the font of a factory "5.0 Liter H.O." emblem and cut into the emblem with a CNC.
