Technical Help

Can anyone tell me about these carbs?

 

Well, I'm not a Ford guy, but I can tell you for sure they are SWEET, and made by Ford

 

I'm looking mainly for three CFM of them, but any info would be great. They came with a project I pick up.

 

They are Holley/ Ford 94s. They flow about 170 cfm each.

Sent from my SM-N900P using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Thank you. There isn't many people left that know the older motors and sub systems

 

Over on the Ford Barn there is a member "Charlie NY" who is a go to guy about all things 94's. There are some others over there as well.

 

Thank you.At 170 CFM they aren't big enough for me. I love the look, but not even close for a 383 stroker chevy stroker.

 

You need a serious set up for that baby! ( I don't have it anymore, but they're out there)

 

Well, how 'bout a six pack on a cross ram?

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to rejuvenate those carbs to make them look like new. I've seen Stromberg 97 tri-power m***aged to 750cfm

 

How'd they do that, Stumpy? Bore the ****erfly bores and venturii? Old hot rod methodology sometimes beleaguers the mind...

 

Stumpy did you actually see the flow bench chart for those? Reason I am asking is I ran a few 94s and 97s on the little flowbench we had where I used to work and I got numbers like 150-160 cfm pretty consistently.That was a superflow 110 with the "upgrades" (think computer digital readout pack). I realize that a flowbench is a comparative tool and numbers from one will not necessarily be the same as another,but that is a big difference.I am not trying to start an argument here.

 

That 6 pack setup is great. That cost more then my motor. I do need something to go with this. I know a chevy in a ford, but I have the motor and I think this is my last build for a while . It's going to take a lot of motor to spin those tires

 

Only

what I read, haven't seen the flow bench results but the new:-

Big97 requires manifold modifications as per Stromberg 2016 Tech Bulletin. They apparently each flow 250cfm, 55% more airflow than regular 97s. 1.175in venturi with 20 degree entry angles. The accelerator pump discharge jets are smaller and well out of the booster airflow. Flared exit cones build power by slowing the mixture down to reduce turbulence into the manifold plenum.
A new, oval cut-out, just under the throttle plates, allows any cylinder to draw from both barrels, combining the easy drivability of a dual plane intake with a boost in top end horsepower more usually ***ociated with a single plane intake.​

I'm sure there are other more knowledgeable than me that can attest to or refute their claims. It sure keeps things looking traditional with definite improvements over base Strombergs if they can keep the fuel up to a motor
