==Engine names== The engines were sometimes named, and this was printed on the air cleaner label or sticker. "Rocket" was used early on and continued to be used intermittently throughout the years. The mid 1960's 425 was known as the "Super Rocket". Some featured "Ultra High Compression" on their labels. The high performance 350 and 400 were named "Ram Rod" in 1968-'69; the 350 became the W-31.
