Ok...here I am working on the engine intake system. Because of the way I plan on dressing it up, I really want to have a name for the 4.9L Caddy engine.

I'm canvassing PFF to help me come up with an awesome name for the engine....maybe even a small logo.

Looking for some creative answers...funny...smart...witty...techy...throw them all on the table and then we'll come up with a winner.

This is the engine (without the intake)...



'88 notchie...




First thought (V8 with black/yellow color) ... Killer Vee

Here ya go....

The answer to the ultimate question is - 42.

That may not be a bad engine name....

What, Marvin? Or heart of gold. Oh, I know, Eddie.

We are such nerds. Don't forget to take your towel with you.

Pokey the Pontiac........

(Remember, I have one too.......)

Cadero (Cadillac + Fiero).

Tranny killer. *I realize that this may not be PC* ;-)

Well... when someone asks you "what engine is that?" aren't you going to be saying "Caddy 4.9 V8"?

3.4L Supercharged 87 GT Click me
Super Duty 4 Indy #163 Click me

I thought yellowjacket too before reading someone posted it!

FIER8 ?
Bumble ?
Flameproof?

Maybe BIOHAZARD.....Here is two different logos.

Yes...but do I just want that written on the engine? The valve cover already says "V8 PFI"

I want to avoid Cadero, simply because others have used it....I love the name, but don't want to copy it.

I love the Yellow Jacket logo...not so much the name though. One down side is that I was intending on just using yellow and black for the text/logo...I could add white, but it will be much more effort and may throw the visual effect off.

Keep the names coming! I think we're getting closer!

Here you go......." Hornet's Nest " or " The Hornet "

O.K I got a lot this time...

Now, if you were a Georgia Tech fan, you could use this:

The first Yellow Jacket logo looks like his stinger is a bolt of lightning. This indicates something electrical like an electric motor. Maybe change the bee to look like a piston with wings.

In the Rocky movies, Stallone wore black and yellow. Called himself the Italian Stallion. Maybe you could use that or spin something off of it. "Fiero" has been reported to be an Italian word meaning "proud". The original Fiero logo is a Pegasus which is a winged horse. Perhaps a winged STALLION?

Here is another.Has the crown from Cadillac and the wings and V8.

yea HORNET
It'd be at hit if your car gets to Frazee where the Tyler Shipman Memorial Carshow is too. Their high school mascot is a Hornet Plus thats a cool name reminds me of the old engine names, Magnum, Cobra Jet, Rocket 350......Hornet 4.9

Thanks for all the input. I see people are gravitating towards the hornet as the name/symbol.

I think something based on this logo would work well....



I love "Hornet Performance"....but I'll be ripping off a company name. So...using a logo similar to this one (I'll redraw so it's not just a copy) and the name "Hornet", can anyone think of something to add similar to the word "performance" to give the same (similar) meaning?

Maybe "Hornet Dynamics".

Plus I renamed Skitimes car for Rpro to Infrared

I dont think you'll have an issue using performance.
Perhaps high performance
or just Hornet 4.9

Fred. Call it Fred.

...ummmmmmmmm......no.

ha!

What do you think of this (given only two colours, which will become clear soon )....



Thanks to everyone!!!!!! I really love this as a logo. Can't wait for the finished product....

How about naming it John Deere.
Because it will probably pull like a tractor.

It will have LOTS of low RPM torque - so Stump Puller could work too.

quote Originally posted by James_GT: Tech IV.

Or in this case, it would be Tech 8.

Hmm... how about Double Duke? You could call it "Double D" for short.

First cut of the new logo. I'll be making a black fiberglass engine cover that will go over the intake system and the logo will go over that. In the mean time I cut one just to see how it could look.

Just remember...it will have black under it to make it stand out and there won't be a bolt sticking through it. (...the blue coupling will be changed to black as well, but will be covered by the engine cover)

What do you think?

The true character of this motor warrants the nickname, "Grunt Puppy ".
Kit

That is gonna look great when the black is done.
