Yeah, but Ford engineers decided the Merc needed a bigger carb. You would think they would have wanted a larger one for this as well. Perhaps nothing suitable was available at the time. I had a Stromberg at one time that had "LZ" on it rather that "97"' was that a larger carb?

Edit : As to the 283's and 307's; they have Rochester 2G's that flow at least twice as much as a 94 or 97.
