No bother at all.

It would take a little bit to produce one as the font was recreated by hand by a graphic artist...so it's not as simple as typing in "400" and going to press. It clearly could be done and I'm sure the guys who helped me with this could do it...but you'd have a couple of hundred in it at least in design time. Not as much as starting form scratch, but they'd have to do the "4". I don't have a "400" decal pic to go by and am not sure they made one like this for a "400". Though SSTim might have a literature pic of one, we'd have to guess at what the "4" would look like. Since the big block valve cover was so different, I am suspicious that an 8:400 decal was produced since these fit perfectly on the raised portion of the valve cover on the 307s and 350s, for which we have several examples. (I think they do reproduce an INVADER400 decal that's of similar dimension, but again, not sure if any trucks left the factory with that decal...probably wrong, more knowledgeable members chime in)

Member Steve Hafner has done the most work on collecting survivor pics and documenting these decals. Also member davepl has the best survivor 400 decal I've seen and it was on his 70 GMC. In conjunction with his work a similar 427 decal was documented on a low mileage medium duty truck. You'll be able to find these pics I'm sure with a simple search of the site.

A red "400" decal may be the correct decal for your application, I don't know for sure. Some of these decals seem hit and miss from the factory and long since evaporated from the engine bays.

I reproduced these decals for my build and have offset some of my cost by offering spares up for sale on the board. I don't know if there'd be as big a market for a "400" decal since there were less big blocks....but if you want to make one, I'm happy to help....and if you do a red one, I'll bet davepl would want one too.

Re: 70-71 Valve Cover Decal

Just to pile on, these are super nice and if you are looking to be correct on your stock restoration, look no further.

I wish you or someone would make the 72 version that came on the passenger side valve cover. It was like a thin piece of aluminum foil with adhesive on the back.
