How about "Super Duper Cobra Jet"?   

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

Or give it an international appeal with "Chunnel Port" 

Slow day at the office, Hemi Joel?

Jay,  we both know what the real name will be  LOL... Have your trade marked it yet?

[Machspeed]

From a consumer stand point, I'm more curious about the cost considering the heads, intake and related parts will have to be bought as a package deal. Jay, do you have a ballpark figure in mind?

[jayb]

I don't yet, I haven't gotten all the costs worked out.  I am targeting it to be equivalent to a set of CNC ported heads complete, plus a rocker set and an intake manifold like a Victor that is ported to match.  But I don't have the information I need yet to put a number on it.

[machoneman]

Jay, will the new heads drop the OEM Ford R-L-L-R exhaust port bend for straight out ports?

[jayb]

There will be one version using the factory exhaust port location, and a second version with raised, straight-out ports.

Just trying to be helpful...

Jay, it sounds like a huge project that not many would tackle or would want to especially for the FE considering the time involved and not even mentioning the costs involved, Thanks.

I think a good name would be JBX Heads as in I just won the name contest and got my FE a new set of JBX's  .
You are doing a lot for the FE crowd so why not incorporate your name into it!

JBX may not be as cool as "World Dominators"....but sounds like the "coiner" on that may have it trade marked already HAHA! When I saw that for some reason I thought of the old cartoon Pinky and the Brain!

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?

Of course I realize that.  I'm waiting...   

I'll wait for a prototype so I can channel the spirits accordingly. However, if you do not plan to inscribe said name (pending approval) into said item like someone else I know, then tell me know so I don't have a tizzy over it. I watched my personal name and a killer tag line vaporize through lack of follow-up promotion. Not doing that again.

Your spirit guide is a weasel.  A funny weasel, but still a weasel......

JBX Heads is the best name I've seen here, in my opinion.  No, not "amazingly creative".  Still, it sounds cool, has the right references to the creator and the intent, and it's easy to remember and say.

I think JBX-R's (or JB-XX's)  would be good for the altered port head.  Again, not over the top in terms of literary creativity, but it would work good.

I have to admit that the name for the heads is the last thing on my list to think about.  Been spending a bunch of time thinking about the ports and the water jackets.  In the paraphrased words of Carroll Shelby, "Let's call it the GT-350.  If the car is good, the name won't matter.  And if the car isn't good, the name won't matter..."

[plovett]

Well there you go.  The spirit of the engineer speaks.  And the right attitude if I may say so  If the heads are right the name doesn't matter.

As long as they're not "FErret Flow 360's".

[Joe-JDC]

427 CFM would be a nice number to start with a high performance head for the serious FE.  Needs to flow at least 360/250 cfm as cast to be a player, and have good port velocity.  Would then be competitive with any aftermarket head for the other brands.  Most heads can be ported to pick up at least 20% flow over the cast shape or size if the casting is at least .250" thick on the walls.  Of course more cfm would be a bonus!  Joe-JDC
