I'm using primarily Stromberg WW's on three or four different setup's.
Two are 6X2's and another 4X2 and an already 3X2 setup. All are for FE's.
I've got over 20 carbs of this model but there are 20+ variations of the carb since they were produced from approx. 1954 thru 1965 for GM, Dodge, Studebaker and some Merc's/Lincolns. I've even got 3 backdraft WW's from Studes. I would send you carbs of the same model
My two 6X2's are for an Edelbrock F-68 and a Latham Supercharger and a second 4X2 for the Latham.  (looks are everything).
The 6X2 Edelbrock is going on a 427 stroker with heads and cam to match. I'm converting from the 3 bolt base to the Strom 4 bolt with adapters. The intake will be ported by Joe.

So would you consider a new carb type that's long gone? They flow about 30% more than a Type 97 or Ford 94 or 81 so they could be a good carb.
No rush the 427 build is early 2019. I'd send you 6 NOS carbs that need a refresh.

Honestly......  I really am too busy to play with any other type.  I'd like to, but simply don't have the time to assemble or test them.  If I was doing this full time and not just as a hobby, I think I'd be willing to branch out more.

If you needed a few small parts plated, I'd be happy to do it just as a neighborly thing, but I'd rather stick with Holley's for the time being.

I do the same thing and have to pass up work for folks wanting Rochesters, Edelbrocks, or Autolites to be worked on.

Thanks
