I've noticed most of the vintage racers use SUs instead of Strombergs.   On 
my TR 6 I had the webers but I'm now driving a Lola with a Lotus twin cam. 
It has the Stromberg head and the Weber heads are just not available or 
stupid expensive.   I adapted the Weber 45 MCHH carbs and they work OK but can't 
take the G forces and are constantly spilling gas.   After many 
modifications and 2 fires at the last event in Georgia I've decided to trash them.   I 
have a set of Strombergs and SUs   I can rebuild, which would be best?
