Since 5.3 liters is just a couple of cubic inches short of 327 I decided to purchase some 327 emblems from Morris Designs and attach them to the bulge on the hood of my 2020 Silverado Custom.  As most Bowtie fans know, the 327 cubic inch V-8 has been historically important since the 1960's so I decided the 327 emblems would look nice on my truck.  The emblems are adhesive backed and nicely polished stainless steel so they blend well with the stock Custom emblems on the truck and bring back a little Chevrolet history.

Gonna add this under the hood of my 6.6. Thought about replacing the 4x4 stickers with something similar. But may just go with deleting the badges.

Automobile makers have historically rounded up a cubic inch or two when publicizing displacement so there's nothing wrong with a slight "fudge."?

Quoted for truth. The old 396 was actually a 402.  The new coyote 5.0 is a 307.

Hmm.. I have a 378.  Pretty sure that'd look dumb ?

You would want to go with a 383 emblem.

Lol. That’s a big stretch. I have a 6.2L. Which is 378 cubic inches.  That’s the emblem I would want. Nothing less or more

 

I remember Furd lying to their customers for years stating the fox body V8s were 5.0L when  actually they were truly 4.9L.   And yes to me that’s lying and deceiving. Go with what is under the hood. Just my 2 cents

 

enjoy your day gentlemen

The older 302’s were actually a 4.9L, but probably went with 5.0L for marketing. Besides, Ford already had the 300 cid 4.9L I6 in their lineup for quite some time.

Old and new.  It's still a 302.  302/61=4.95L

That said, who would put 4.95 on their hood/fenders when only a 305 is a true 5.0?

Meh.. it's a 4.95.  So, rounding up .05, it is a 5 liter

Actually it was 4.942 for some that were earlier models of mustangs.
 

Here is a good article.  I found it funny

GM was closest to 5L with theirs at 4.998 with the c/k trucks and cars of the 80s and 90s.

The 396 was actually a 396 until 1970, then it became a 402.  They bored it .030 over.  The 396 engine already had a good following so they didn't want to change anything.  I've heard Chevrolet did it for emission reasons, apparently engines under 400 cu in had more stringent emissions, so the they made it a tad bigger.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
