FEnix: The mythical bird that rose from the ashes. The bird analogy could be used in conjunction with Fords FE Bird insignia.

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".


good logo here

you could put Fo-Mo-Go on the front.my uncle use to race fe engines on the dirt track.you had to run stock intakes so my uncle took a streetmaster and ground off the name and he used jb weld to form the word Fo-Mo-Co on it. then he painted the intake blue along with the rest of the engine.he never got caught,mainly because he was the only fe in the field.the chevy guys never noticed it.

I really like FEnix!

There are some nice royalty-free Phoenix logo graphics on this page:

A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

Jay: what ever you use for a name just put XE or SK in front of it and then only FE people will know the significance.

Minnesota is up north close to Canada so.... Canadian Cobra Jet heads... or has that been taken?

Then us Canucks will all be obliged to buy them to be patriotic.

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




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:




Any comments welcome - Jay

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.

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