What about a Ford part number like C8JB?

Or there is always the Trojan Magnum Port...

How about the Pavement Pounder or the Exterminator (getting rid of mice and rats)?

I still like the simple SHR, and XHR idea. Not a fan of the bird engraving on the ends. These are serious race parts, not a cartoon.

It may not have been visible in the pictures I posted in the head thread, but the head already has C4AE 6090 F cast into it, which is the high riser casting number.  Did that just for grins.  But if Ford had continued their part numbering scheme from the sixties, next year we would be in the "J" decade.  Imagine that!  So, I was thinking about J0AE-6090-A, -B, -C, etc. as a part number cast into the heads.

I was thinking through a few other possibilities.  I could name different versions after famous old drag strips, e.g. Lyons, Pomona, Indy or IRP, etc.  Other suggestions from famous tracks back in the day would be welcome, because I don't have a great knowledge of those places.  Another thought would be to name them after famous Ford FE racers.  I like the idea of the Ohio George heads, and I'll bet George would go along with it, because when he saw my 3D printed head at the FE Reunion last year, he told me he wanted to invest LOL!  Platt heads?  Bonner heads?  Richie heads?

LOL! Now that's funny  ;D

As for the bird, I was thinking something more resembling the factory Ford bird. It's a cool looking logo, and I thought the FEnix fit the "dead dynosaur" part that goes with these engines, but rising from the ashes to whoop some ass...lol 

I might skip the Bonner name, for the somewhat obvious reasons that would inevitably come from the jealous GM and Mopar crowd.  :P  NO disrespect meant to Phil, it's just the way people would be !!! But these are Jays heads, so it's his decision, and I'm done.

Jim Dove did this with his F5 heads.

If you do it, your first initial will make a "legit" appearance, and they will be known as "Jay" heads.

Looks like Dumpling's dealer is expanding his turf. After seeing the suggestions in this thread, I don't ever wanna hear anybody whine about my posts ever again. I'm starting to feel sane, and that scares me.

JBRE-6090-A, B, C, etc.  Would give you credit as well as differentiate from the rest.  After all, it is your head.  Jay Brown Raised Exhaust-6090-A. Joe-JDC

+1 on the J part numbering, I like this a lot.
