I like Medium Riser High Port.  Or MR HP, or Mister High Performance.  LOL.  Jay's MR HP is easy to differentiate from the rest.

FE-REX   FE Raised exhaust ports,  the street exhaust port is an attention getter.  LOL

I like Doug's FEnix and bird. I also like the aforementioned nostalgia numbering for the FE guys. A 6090-X incorporated with an FE power P/N would look cool if was cast by the exhaust ports. Maybe.

Just joking:  but the FE is Ford-Edsel ---- Call them Edsel heads and the intakes Ford.
Might be however, have some patent/copyright issues.

Definitely put the name between the center exhaust ports.

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.

Actually, I was going to put the name on the ends of the heads, like an Edelbrock head.  Any comments on that?

I tried, at gunpoint, to get Barriferous to put "FElony" on his heads, either engraved as you say, or cast. He cheaped out. I could have lived on in infamy, but now I will die in obscurity.

That's what made me think of it, how cool it would look to see the bird on the ends of the heads, then I thought about the FEnix and thought it fit the FE "folklore" of being a dead engine. But as Dr. Frankenstein said...."Eets ALIVE!"  ;D

I like the idea of an engraved bird, Doug, but I gotta ask, are you going to pony up for these parts and the associated hardware to support a 900 horsepower car?

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!
