I see plenty of 302, 2.3, 4.6, etc but the 2018s have a 307 so this should exist. Almost looks factory.

I have some 307 emblems from an old Chevy. Peugeot also made a model 307 so there exist some out there.

I mocked up my car with some badges I found on Amazon. Metal "307s" I found for $12, both sides. Even included the 3M tape as well.

Makes me wonder at some of the emblem prices I see online when heavy metal ones like these are so cheap.

Considering the storied tradition of the pontiac 307, i'll pass. My 5.0 badges are fine

Don't like when folks put the "302" under the Fox body 5.0 and I don't like the "307" under that. Just to much going on.

This scenario kind of reminds me of the Chevy 396. In 1970, they punched up the 396 to 402, but they figured that 396 still had a catchier ring to it so they continued to market it as a 396, despite being able to boast of 6 more cubic inches in an era defined by "no replacement for displacement".

I'm of the camp that believes you should do either/or; stick with 5.0, or replace it completely with 307. Doing both is kind of messy and confusing, especially when old school people have correlated 5.0 with 302 for decades and may not be aware of Ford punching it out to 307.

Might be setting yourself up for some interesting conversations at the gas pump or Autozone.

I had some guy at work correct me. He was confused.

Well it is confusing but 307 *IS* correct. Hell the numbers on the back of the cars now rarely even correspond to displacement anymore since the industry shift to small turbo fours.

It's an odd thing I suppose but I just left them on there. They're already stuck on. And I don't do any other mods. Maybe a little busy but nothing as busy some of these hoods and wings I see everywhere. I'm in the Bronx a lot so this little emblem doesn't stand out believe that.
