    I don't recall the cfm on the strombergs, but it's very likely. Progressive linkage will be your best bet.

    won't be too much if you put a blower between the carbs and engine

    I think a Stromberg 97 to be about 175 CFM = a little bit much
    Progressive linkage which has already been mentioned or even a couple "dummy" carbs wouldn't hurt either.

    progressive linkage and adjustments will make em work OK, they won't be great, it will be overcarbed but not to the point that it won't work
