All these "Rex" names...Rex means "King" in some dead foreign language.  Why not just call it King, and use a crown as the graphic?
Round raised exhaust port version could be Queen (always more powerful  ;D ), or Emperor, or ...

"FE" would just be redundant in the name since it already shows up as part of "FE Power".

How about FE-Rx, "The cure for low horsepower". Or FEdex, "The power you needed today, in your hands tomorrow by 5".

Too swishy and subservient. My "Weapons of Mass Destruction" has more testosterone, and will instill FEar in cruise-in wannabes.

Alumisaurus. "T-Rex on Weight Watchers". Gee, this is fun.

What about naming the Cross Ram?

Coincidence that paleontologists are just announcing the largest T-Rex known to exist? HA!! ;)

Along the same lines of the Tunnelport, why not Chunnelport?

whatever you name them you could use jb400 for the part number and the big ones could be jb420s or whatever

I have been out of circulation for a few weeks, so I guess I will weigh in on this discussion.. Since my World Domination suggestion was kicked to the curb. Lol, my thoughts are that I would avoid trying too hard to come up with something clever. In my opinion it could come off as too much of an inside joke.   In my way of thinking the name should reflect both an engineering and design flavor as well as clear connection to Jay Brown.  My suggestion would be this.. I like the idea of a cast in designation between the exhaust port. If that is not workable then an engraving on the end of the head works for me.  I would make them like this. A nice masculine script saying FE POWER.. drop the LLC. Unless there are legal reasons  I think it just looks cleaner. To designate the two versions I would use TRX 400 and TRX 500.  (Slight nod to dinosaur).  Ok there it is. I am a nice fat target so take aim.

I'll go with you, Royce. It'll be spoken of as "The Power Head".

A "JB-6090 with a suffix for the details will also be recognized by all in the Ford world.

I wouldn't be too careless using the CJ or KR designations as part of the name unless you have written permission from Ford.  I'd hate to see you get crosswise of Ford in a copyright suit.

I do see the last three suggestions as workable. Engraved firechickens or dinos look nifty in pictures, but in-car on an engine they might seem a tad cartoonish. I think "FE Power" alone, engraved, is good and professional. I think Ken's idea, further refined by Dumpling (who appears, thankfully, to be over his extended acid trip. Maybe), cast between the exhaust ports, to be classic and appropriate. A general date code under the valve cover to clarify production runs in the future might be a good thing.
