I have seen some at swap meets but never got very interested in them. What would be really cool is to just have it painted on like the chrome trim is done on some custom cars. I really like that and it doesn't ding, fall off or collect dust and pine needles behind it...LOL!

Those could be from a dodge. My cousin has two 383 badges on his 66 charger that look like the chevy and ford ones.

That would be cool.After all,they do make 454 original-looking badges.I have the 402(400)badges on my truck with a small block 400.It`s more right then factory.

There is a vender at Carlisle swap meets that sells badges. My friend and I were looking for 402 badges for our trucks. This guy said his supplier would make anything we wanted, but we had to buy 20 sets. Can't remember the price, but it was the same as his other badges he had.

The vendor is in the northfield, by the turnpike. Should find out howmany guys on here that would want the 402 badges. I'm sure we could get enough people to buy them.

The TrimParts numbers aren`t right for our badges,though.They should make the smooth chrome ones.Or,just start making the common non original ones like thet already do with the 8 454 ones.I want 383!

7gmc2, I going back to Carlisle for the truck nats in August, but I'm not sure if that guy is there. I know for sure he will be there in the fall.I get all the info about the badges. I go out to Carlisle three times a year, for 22 years.

Ok, I did a little math. 4.9954 bore by 4.25 stroke would make a 666.02 cubic inch. 5 bore by 4.25 stroke would make 667.25, which would be close enough.
Olds had a block with a 4.25 stroke, but only a 4.1something bore. So obviously you'd have to go with a custom block. Either that or play with the stroke some more. Some other combos. 4.854 bore by 4.5 stroke. 4.725 bore by 4.75 stroke. 4.606 bore by 5 stroke. Just some food for thought for ya'. I honestly don't know if any of those would work, nor how much power they would make. I'll leave that up to other people to figure out. Though all of those combos do make 666 cubic inches. Todd
