Title: Need a name for the FE Power Cylinder Heads...
Post by: jayb on March 21, 2019, 07:43:13 PM
My luck at picking out a catchy name is probably not the greatest, so I'm open to any suggestions (well, almost any suggestions...).  I kind of like the dinosaur parallel, and was thinking of calling them T-Rex heads; I have a great idea for a logo if I go that route, but "T-Rex" seems a little shopworn.  Royce B, our resident MEL and Lincoln Y-block expert, wants me to call them the World Domination heads, but I think the only world they would dominate would be his LOL!  (Sorry Royce, couldn't resist  ;D )  I could probably just be boring and label them with FE Power and a part number, but I was hoping for something more creative.  What say you guys?

I think Giganotosaurus is the largest predatory dinosaur found so far.  Spinosaurus is huge, too.  Both bigger than T-Rex.  Sorry.  I am a biologist.

They could be brown anodized and called Mister Hanky heads and i'd still like them.

If you could bump the cfm up to 420 you would open up an endless stream of possibility .... Grateful Dead music plays as the TV commercial starts, smoke clears to show Cheech and Chong doing a massive burnout in a 66 F100.
  Chong declares

"These heads are DOPE"
 Sales at Jay's Head Shop go viral. Jay buys out Brodix and AFR to expand production capacity to 15,000 heads per month.

But if they flow much more than 420 cfm, than what?  You don't want to tie them to a cfm rating.  If they respond to normal porting increases, then 10% is to be easily expected, and ~20% with a really good CNC program which would be super.  If that happens, then they will become the EQUALIZER heads.  Joe-JDC

You guys are overlooking the simplest, most effective name.

Well, if you are referring to a "Thunderbolt" head, I've actually been saving that name for a specific version of this head, that is still in the planning stages.  That does seem like the obvious choice, but I don't want to use that for this particular head...

This is 100%.

P51, that was just a number until it became synonymous of being badass warplane. Same with WD-40. Engineers aren't necessarily good marketers so creating a catch name didn't matter to them but inadvertently they became common household names based from performance. Guess I'm saying try say not to overthink it and take the fun out of it.

That said, I was part of a group trying to name a product few years ago, we went rounds and rounds even had a suggestion box plant wide. But we kept coming back to one of the original names, unfortunately we could not use it for unforeseen reasons.  "Commander" Or for FElony "Kommander" lol

I like the acronym idea, as it can "reduce" an over-the-top name into daily normalcy. That's what my choice was last night, as the thread turned into a Jack Benny Geek-a-thon. I'm still butt-sore over Blair turning down "Ballistics" for his heads. A couple more years of therapy and I'll be back to normal, whatever that actually means in my case.

Thanks for all the ideas.  Even FElony's  :o  I like Doug's idea for FEnix heads, with a bird logo.  I'm going to have to work on that one.  My friend the drunk monkey wanted me to call them FElix heads, as in Felix the Cat and his bag of tricks.

What a lot of you guys are saying is true though, to paraphrase Carroll Shelby and his thoughts on naming the GT-350, "If its a good car, the name won't matter.  And if its not a good car, the name won't matter".

I'm sure you're on it, but beyond the marketing aspects of a "common name," I think there's value in nostalgic part numbers. These are going to be exclusively in the hands of FE folks anyway, so something like C*JB-6090-* would mean a lot, especially as your designs evolve.

That said, I lean toward something like J482. There's your J, and if current trends hold, I bet a LOT of your potential customers are in the 4.25" club or wouldn't mind the association.

Could always rip Buick off, stage one, stage two, stage three.  That way you don't need to come up with a new name for every version.  you would instantly know what you have or need.

Because someone seems to be fixated on chickens...

Killer Chickens:

Chicken sooo big its legs wouldn't support it, so it was given a wheelchair:

I think FPP named their parts, don't think Blue Thunder does.  Edelbrock names its intakes but not their heads...

How about APEX for Jay's heads, as in Apex Predator? Or EPIC?

You may or may not know that Jay actually does have a huge chicken coop wherein resides a bevy of collector-grade, matching numbers chickens. Can't recall eggzactly, but I've been making chicken jokes since about 2006. Of course, if Jay had bigger McNuggets, he could have a field day with my thing about FElines.  ;)

OK, this thread is winding down so I'll throw my 2 pesos into it. Keeping with the idea of an over-the-top name made subtle on the retail front with an acronym is WMD. We all know what that means. No reason to actually spell it out if not wanted on a web page, but the message is clear.

If you wanted to get ginchy about it (and truly, who doesn't want to be ginchy?), you could assign two-letter hyphenated suffixes to each revision, the meanings of which would only be privvy to the members of this forum. Such as WMD-SA (Shock & Awe), WMD-FC (Final Countdown), WMD-TA (Total Annihilation), for example.

Yes, I know this is beyond vanilla, but that's how I roll. I suspect FEnix will be chosen. It's nice and Politically Correct.

Then it's all moot:  FE Power

If you're looking for a graphic design then I guess a phoenix works, but remember that that bird was dead, D.E.D. before it rose from a flaming pyre.  A mushroom cloud might better represent power.

I can see the khakis with polo and topsiders experts walking up to the open hood at a car show and knowledgably pointing to the "352" and then the engraved bird and postulating that it must be a Cobra Shelby 352 Ford because Caroll Shelby was a chicken farmer known for fast Fords whose symbol was a screaming chicken...and did you know that Pontiac hired him to work on their Firebird and Shelby snuck his screaming chicken on some of them too!

Thanks for all the ideas.  Even FElony's  :o  I like Doug's idea for FEnix heads, with a bird logo.  I'm going to have to work on that one.  My friend the drunk monkey wanted me to call them FElix heads, as in Felix the Cat and his bag of tricks.

What a lot of you guys are saying is true though, to paraphrase Carroll Shelby and his thoughts on naming the GT-350, "If its a good car, the name won't matter.  And if its not a good car, the name won't matter".

So I figured as long as I was machining my other cylinder head this weekend, I might as well write up program to try out a couple of these names.  I'm still partial to the T-Rex idea, and right now I'm thinking that my all out head with the raised and round exhaust port might get the T-Rex name, and the other head with the exhaust ports in the normal location might get the FEnix name.  Still thinking about this.  Anyway, here's one end of the head I just finished up with the T-Rex engraving.  Sharp eyes will spot something in the dinosaur's mouth  ;D

(http://fepower.net/Photos/Posts/TRex.jpg)


On the other end of the head I engraved the FEnix idea.  For the FEnix bird I wanted to have some similarities to the 427 Bird we all know and love, but with the phoenix flair:

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.

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 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.

You are probably right, but Ford never really marketed FE as much more than internal memorandum for the engine family while they pushed the CJ and KR designations for all they were worth.

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'm not sure Ford or anyone else can copyright initials, or Jay could not use FE Power.

You are probably right, but Ford never really marketed FE as much more than internal memorandum for the engine family while they pushed the CJ and KR designations for all they were worth.

Yes, but if they even cared, they could claim FE as intellectual property or similar because of the enormous amount of times that engine is/has been referred to as such. Jay could always claim CJ and KR are the initials of his two favorite roosters, who work for him as machinists. What's Ford gonna do, subpoena the chickens into court to testify what the scratches on their birth certificates say?

I remember a few years back when 'Obsolete Ford Parts' was forced to change the name of their company.


Yes, one annoying Cali lawyer made a couple bucks from that. Not an initial, though.

Post by: Joey120373 on March 26, 2019, 06:56:54 PM
I’m going to hop on here and say that I like the Feonix, TRex and Velociraptor names, I also like Jays
CNC TRex logo..... but
Put me in the camp that thinks all of these are a bit gimmicky, again, I like them, but I think Jays efforts and the FE history is a bit above such things.
I am more a fan of the name being more alpha numerical, in line with previous heritage.
Something like HP400R for the Race version, HP could stand for “High Port” or “High performance”,
The 400 would be fluid, matching the intake CFM, imagine the CNC version hitting 427cfm.....
The R could be “Race”, or “Raised exhaust port”
Go ahead and keep the TRex or whatever dinosaur related drawing on the head, I like it. It can be the pet name for the head or it’s alias. Or offer it as an option to those who want the sleeper look.
As for making sure Jay Brown is prominent, put that in the casting mold, a big JB or JBrown cast into every head.

I think if everybody avoids putting these heads into German or Dutch cars, we should all be safe.


...As for making sure Jay Brown is prominent, put that in the casting mold, a big JB or JBrown cast into every head.


So if I buy those heads, and tap on them with a mallet, will Jay get a headache? If I drive around hoodless with clear valve covers, will Jay's brain get sunburned? If I win a local race, will Jay know that by osmosis? Is there any way to shut my brain off that doesn't involve the word "caliber"?

Post by: jayb on March 26, 2019, 07:48:14 PM
Thanks for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it.  One thing I really don't want to do is to put my name or initials on these heads.  Putting FE Power on them is going to be enough for me.  I've been thinking more about the engraved pictures on the ends of the heads and I'm souring a little bit on that idea; maybe just some lettering would be better.  And somewhere on the heads I'll put a part number to positively identify them.

I'm still considering what I should call them, haven't really made any decisions on that yet.  On my intake adapters, I have a part numbering system which seems pretty clear to me, but people get confused with the numbers and I often have to clarify exactly what they want, because the part number they tell me isn't really what they're looking for based on the phone or email conversations.  This is one reason why I wanted a name for the different versions of these heads, because I think that will make it clearer to a lot of people.  Fortunately for me, I don't have to make any decisions on this right away...

It may not have been visible in the pictures I posted in the head thread, but the head already has C4AE 6090 F cast into it, which is the high riser casting number.  Did that just for grins.  But if Ford had continued their part numbering scheme from the sixties, next year we would be in the "J" decade.  Imagine that!  So, I was thinking about J0AE-6090-A, -B, -C, etc. as a part number cast into the heads.

I was thinking through a few other possibilities.  I could name different versions after famous old drag strips, e.g. Lyons, Pomona, Indy or IRP, etc.  Other suggestions from famous tracks back in the day would be welcome, because I don't have a great knowledge of those places.  Another thought would be to name them after famous Ford FE racers.  I like the idea of the Ohio George heads, and I'll bet George would go along with it, because when he saw my 3D printed head at the FE Reunion last year, he told me he wanted to invest LOL!  Platt heads?  Bonner heads?  Richie heads?

As for the bird, I was thinking something more resembling the factory Ford bird. It's a cool looking logo, and I thought the FEnix fit the "dead dynosaur" part that goes with these engines, but rising from the ashes to whoop some ass...lol 

I might skip the Bonner name, for the somewhat obvious reasons that would inevitably come from the jealous GM and Mopar crowd.  :P  NO disrespect meant to Phil, it's just the way people would be !!! But these are Jays heads, so it's his decision, and I'm done.

You could have that for the Drag version. No need for TV commercials, the heads would be talked about and shown on Ellen.

There's no reason this absurd thread should die off. Up for serious consideration is a name that fits perfectly, considering it's Jay Brown we are talking about here. The title of this music video, which was filmed on location at Jay's farm back in the 80's, is something I would think everyone here would want to see on these new offerings. Get with it!
