496 emblems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where I could get 496 emblems made for the side of my truck and maybe a pair of 496 emblems to put on those GM factory aluminum valve covers?

Don't I wish. I'm actually building a 496 stroker out of a Generation V 7.4L engine.

that sounds sweet!, I would like to know where to get custom emblems, I built a 383 for the monte and want "383" emblems

you could splice some repo "ss 454" and "ss396" emblems from a 70 'velle

I saw a 72 truck with 496 emblems made from a 402 and a 396 emblem from 69-72 BB trucks. You had to look twice to see that they had been spliced.

cant think of any emblems with an 8 for me though

Talk to Rick at www.****************.com - he's got to know someone who can do this, seeing as he has an "8 542" badge on the side of his truck!!!!

Yep, don't forget the 427 emblems too

I was also wondering where to get those custom made. There was a nice sleeper '65 Belair in my new issue of Car Craft or was it Hot Rod (too many car mags I guess) that had some stock looking 502 emblems. Kind of defeats the sleeper look if you ask me.

Hooter... you can get 383 emblems off old dead dodge's.

Made this out of my 8-400 badge and a 502 emblem from Ausley in NC.
