    Holley 94's with ford script on outer four. I think it may have done by Vintage Speed down in Fl.

    As it stands $1.5K guestimate. Market would decide. As stated looks fairly good and complete. I bought an original X1 and went from there acquiring parts over time.
    A new repop manifold is $500; add an progressive linkage (Edelbrock or Stromberg), another $230 or $320. Eelco fuel log (Update) $50, air cleaners with filters, $300 ($50 each), Holley 94 cores $300 ($50 each), carburettor rebuild kits $150 ($25 each), oil filler tube and breather, $15. Original not repop parts sometimes command higher prices.

    Nice Centerpiece for the table oops I mean Hotrod. It is a looker (and doer) for sure and totally HAMB friendly...Yes as Stumpy said all that stuff is reproduced so add it up and yes original is obviously more desired and pricey. I am running an X1 and am very happy with the reliability of it. The one I have was painstakingly polished and sets it off nicely. It came with the car so it's value??? I would say worth every penny...;)

    Here is a couple of ads for reference. I think 97's may be more desired so perhaps considering you can adjust accordingly.

    No expert however I did some more research on Dr. Google. :D Dickster here and others know a lot more than me and specialise in these.
    6 x 97's (Strombergs) equate to 930cfm, 6 x 94's (Holleys) equate to 1050cfm at WOT (Wide open throttle). Utilising only the centre 2 carbs and blocking off the outside 4 equates to 310cfm with 97's or 350cfm with 94's at WOT.
    A progressive linkage allows you to run only the centre 2 carbs until throttle is 65% open. With this setup, it only idles on the centre 2 carbs. The outer 4 carbs kick in like secondaries once 65% is reached. A straight linkage operates ALL carbs at the same time, no 65% until all kick in.
    The most common and/or biggest problem is over carbing an engine. Essentially an engine is a big pump, if you have to much going in you won't get it out as the engine will be running too rich. Most engines don't run 100% volumetric efficiency (VE) and run around the 80% mark. Most of us don't run the engine to 5,000 rpm with the most common range from idle to 3,500 rpm with the occasional squirt every now and again.
