Default Looking for single engine fender emblem numbers

Does anyone know where you could get single engine numbers like a fender emblem?
Not the crappy auto parts chrome letter type, but the factory looking ones.

I need 6 fives, to make two "555"s.



Since it was not a factory offered size, they don't seem to exist. Even among the after market ones that say Stroker underneath them.

Jeez! Yeah, a little proud of them aren't they?
Not sure I need them that bad. I will keep looking.
Thanks though.

Pontiac 455 rocker emblems might do the trick...requires some cutting and grinding with a bit of white paint, probably, but it'll look factory GM.

Got a pic? Size? Are they the chrome ones, or do they have a colored inset like above?

That still comes out to $100-120 for 2 pairs. Ouch. I'm not cheap, but surely there are cheaper single numbers out there.
I am not opposed to creating them and painting the insert color, I just can't see spending that much for freaking engine size emblems.

Thanks though.

I have the same issue. I need a &quot;434&quot; emblem.

Have you seen these?

Not those exact ones, but similar. Still, $16 each. Ouch. $96 + shipping.
If I have to go to a freakin junk yard and scrounge them, as long as the chrome is good, I can repaint the inner.
I just can't justify the cost. It is ridiculous.

Thanks.

Cool.

Not a bad idea. I might try the same! Good luck on your search.
