A friend of mine gave me a call and suggested the name "Dreadnought", harkening back to the early 1900s British battleships that made all the previous battleships obsolete.  What do you guys think of that one?

 Too long a name, would require a small font to fit on the end of the head, nevermind fitting it between ports.

FE guys are mostly of a 'certain' age that makes reading small print a problem.
Plus, what would be the graphic? A sailing ship? A cannon?
Just call it BIG or BIGGER.

Too eclectic for most, and it's going to get a "dreadful" nickname. Cool boats, though.

That's it! Call them El Beeg Juan.

Oh God am I still in this thread.  :(

The issue is not that you are back on LSD again. It's that you are not sharing it with the rest of us.

Jay, I know you are not yet pondering what custom paint you are going to shoot on your next project car. I thought I'd help, because I'm a caring kinda guy. Here's some suggestions:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3CenN7d30Y

Not a fan. At the very least, it'd have to be something American military. These weren't designed or built overseas  ???

Why not just put your name on them?
Your reputation is stellar.
( maybe J ° B  cast proud on either side of the head bolt between the center exhaust ports?)

It's traditional... Ardun, Edmonds, Offenhouser, Edelbrock, Winfield, Riley, Weiand, et al.

                        This makes total sense.
