Everything else, like the cast-in Stromberg part numbers, requires serious scrutiny... however if you can read those at 10 feet, the Air Force may well have a good career for you. Or maybe the East Overshoe Bird Spotters Club...
And never trust anything that is removable, as a bunch of the 48's I have contain a generous sprinkling of 97 type parts, and some of the 81 and 97's have 48 stuff...
At the core, the main body casting is the main thing I guess.
After 75 years of commercial rebuilders, hotrodders, and farmers messing with old Fords purity is hard to find. 94's are even worse it terms of mixed part possibilities!
