Regarding Weber carbs (of which I'm a huge fan, also being an I-car guy) - they are adjustable to the point that it is mind-boggling. You can choke them down to run on just about any engine, and can team them up to power just about any engine, too. Adjustable / configurable parts on Weber DCOE sidedrafts are:
* Air Correctors
* Main Jets
* Needle valves
* Idle Jets
* Main chokes or "main venturis"
* Auxillary venturis
* Accelerator pump jets
* Accelerator pump inlet valves
* Emulsion tubes (18 - 20 sizes here alone)
and probably some other stuff that I'm missing. I have an old Alfa that runs dual DCO sidedrafts on a 1600cc motor, but they are choked down and the car does not run rich at idle, and it doesn't run lean at WOT. The twin carbs (one individual throat per cylinder) are tuned perfectly for the car. I haven't yet seen a Weber setup for a stovebolt, but I wouldn't be surprised. They could deliver excellent tractibility for even a stock motor if configured correctly.
