What are you going to call your new heads Jay? Ultra high riser or super high riser, or??? FE Power heads, twisted power, or trunk monkey heads?? LOL. I don't think you will need a "catchy" name, but... inquiring minds want to know. Maybe we need a poll and vote on it?

I guess my "custom" HR top end will be obsolete before it is even finished? I know... what is taking me so long, right?

I vote for Super Super Cobra Jet. Or S2CJ   :o

Or "Awesome",  "Frikken Eh", has to be many more, but I see your point. I am not complaining!

My pal Royce Brechler thinks I should call them the "World Domination" heads  ;D ;D ;D   Cracks me up, but I just can't bring myself to do that.

NOT a hemi...

My heads will require a special FE intake adapter, and one of three special intake manifolds just for this adapter.  They will also require my custom rocker arms.  They are a complete departure from the standard FE head architecture, so anyone who buys my heads will have to buy the complete package.  The only normal FE parts that will fit will be the valve covers, and in one version, the pistons and headers.  Another version will require custom pistons and headers.  Normal FE intake manifolds and rocker arms will not fit, and of course custom pushrods will be required.

I'm guessing they will have canted valves by the sound of it? Maybe something like these?

Nope, inline valves in the traditional fashion.  Moved around a little, maybe...

Kinda surprised and maybe a little disappointed the new heads were not high port SOHC heads.  Maybe that's deep under wraps as Phase II.

You realize that there is only one person that can come up with an attitude-laden name for something that will stick and become a success, right?

How about "Super Duper Cobra Jet"?    ;D

 Or maybe  "High as a Kite Riser", or go all out with "Swat Team Interceptor".  8)

Or give it an international appeal with "Chunnel Port"  :o

Well, since we are throwing out names, good, bad, and worse; how about High Power - as in high port FE-Power.
