juriha Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think just the chrome numbers in the same font would look badass IMO. Not diggin the red... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado_ss_04 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i like it better on the rear of the cowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGRYGREG Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 i voted for the rear. You could put one on the tailgate on the opposite side from the SS badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 i have the intention on putting some custom 427 twin turbo emlbems i had made on my goodmark cowl when i get it repainted , i had them custom made in the ss silverado font but it sucks since my motor will now be a 436 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put one on the tailgate on the opposite side from the SS badge ya i thought of the tailgate and on the front fender like 69 camaro but these are vette ones and made at a angle so they look funny on anything other than a angle like the cowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 pm supersub he has a cool place that does custom emblems or google custom emblems and youll find it. long story short , lifted my heads on a fluke and when my past yank converter balloned it swelled and pushed the crank forward into the thrrust bearing and i caught it when i pulled the heads and deceided to have a glance at bearings. im really glad i did that. one piston had more clearance than i liked so im going to go to a 4.130 piston and run them all @ .003 clearance. with some added touches to the new set of slugs including gas reliefs and a longer skirt . the ones i got were kind of a rush job but they will almost be identical. i just know that certain pistons do swell more than others such as je from what a few reputable builders have said swell more than others which can be good and bad. but im sticking with diamond for now . i got my block and heads back from surfacing so they are nice and flat so all i need is a big chunk og change for this new custom set of pistons . i also have some modifications being made to my turbo kit itself but ill keep those to myself for now.

I put the Z06 427 emblems on my cowl, and had an "LSX" badge like the one On reggie jacksons camaro made for the rear gate. love the look!

Krambo Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I put "408" on the rear of my cowl. With a black truck, it sets it off nicely IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
