Sharp eyes will spot something in the dinosaur's mouth.

Even sharper minds will note that the slant on the ends of that logo is backwards.  8)

Ha!  Thanks for pointing that out.  I'll confess I never pay much attention when I see that logo...

Latest thinking is that the T-Rex looked like a big chicken (some people might be happy about that,):


So the gas pedal will become the squawker, and the brake will be the buck-buck-buck-aaaaaa pedal?

Do I get a free head/intake package as a reward?

FEnix. Cool. The Pontiac Firebird crowd is gonna love this.  ::)

FEel FrEe to spit on my corpse if this has already been mentioned, but is there a target vehicle for the first test pieces? The '64?

First target is the dyno.  Second is my 68 Mustang fastback, with the IR intake combination, because I won't mind cutting the shock towers on that car to clear the exhaust.  Not sure after that, but I have a twin turbo SOHC slated for the 64 Galaxie, and don't have any plans to change that.

Nice try on the free head/intake package  ;)

I think FEnix is better.  T-Rex is something kids are into.  So even though it is awesome it will always be associated with little kids.  And short arm jokes.   

JMO,

Well, we could use some youngsters in the FE crowd, couldn't we?  ;D  I like FEnix a lot too...

No free stuff. Might as well engrave the firechicken laying an egg on my corpse.

Don't worry about the youngsters, they go for the two letters that come a little farther into the alphabet.

So I'm slow & broke, what went wrong?

The beak should be positioned to the birds right wing.  Ancient Indian phoenix legends had that to the right was good luck, left bad luck.  The US eagle faces to the right.  The Pontiac Firebird was to the left - Poof, Pontiac is gone.

That was a mighty long poof.  ;D

Beak to the right

What are we, living in caves? Instead of copying Ford's or Ponnywreck's birds, let give it the direct approach.

Well Jay and Group, I'm a believer in the keep it simple approach, so here is my thought..... Al

Race Head=   FE Horse Power

Street Head= FE Power

Nothing fancy. Nothing copied. Just a quick look and anyone will know what head it is. As we will also know who designed them!

You're ahead in a Mercury......all the way

I like the simple approach as well while also giving credit where it is due.
