Any safe way to remove and save underhood emission decal?

[WH23G3G]

On this 73 I'm of course going to get everything painted including the underside of the hood. It has a perfect emission decal for the 400-4BBL automatic, which I don't see being reproduced at any of the decal companies. Is there a safe way to remove it intact so I can go and get some remade?

A hair dryer might work. But, here are some links for reproductions.

E5's on the right track. I used a heat gun, very carefully, to remove the stickers on my car

try zippo lighter fluid, on some stickers it neutralized the adhesive while its wet and allows you to gently pull it off

Before you try to take it off, take a good clear picture and measure the decal size.  If you happen to mess it up taking it off  then most likely you could get a print shop to reproduce for you from the picture.

 If that's your VIN number on your avatar pic, it shows the fifth digit of G......Which is a 318 car.

ECS and others make excellent repros. They are fairly inexpensive so I'd recommend buying all new decals. Obviously if you have one or more that are not being repro'd then you do have to save the original(s) if you can. Another suggestion just for the "car history" binder, attach all the old decals you've removed to a stiff piece of paper. Then its just a stop at the 3-hole punch and the sheet is ready for the binder.
