LT5 or LT-5

So, what is the correct designation for our engines, LT5 or LT-5.
I am having this put on a coat my wife had embroidered for Christmas and want to make sure it's right.

LOL!

I recall the emblems that mid america, ecklers, and the like sold for the SBC's are of the format "LT-1", "LT-4", and "L.98". I always wondered where that stupid looking '.' came from for L98.

As the engine is only an RPO and not a badge, I'd have to guess it's "LT5", not "LT-5"? I've no idea where they got the dash for the LT1/4 emblems either.

One plus for us is that GM at some point considered using LT5 as an emblem. I believe those were "LT5" not "LT-5". So I'd say that's the correct way to display the engine code.

I have always seen it in the GM pubs as LT5

The LT5 is going in the Bowtie on this coat. It is on the back.

I wonder if you could get them to embroider two more spokes on each wheel also? Heheh. Cool jacket!

Seeing that reminds me of the Chevy ad campaign from I believe the early 1990's "Beware the red bowtie"

Thanks, I know, I know. But the wifey gets an A+ for effort on this one.

Wow! Did she sew that herself? If so, NICE! Oh, and I believe it's just LT5

Had it done here locally. Thanks.

LT5. Check the picture of the '89 in "Heart of the Beast." LT5 is on the rear bumper.
