Are any out there? Weber, Dellorto, even (hold nose) SU?

There are (expensive) triple Weber setups. There are (scarce) triple Dell'Orto setups. There are triple-SU setups (of which I have three, all of which for sale, and a twin-SU, not for sale).

AFAIK Dell'Ortos have the same bolt pattern as Webers, as do some Mikunis...no?
SU's are what all smart Britcar owners _get away_ from. They require weekly maintenance.
No, Zenith-Strombergs are what all smart Britcar and early Volvo owners get away from. They replace them with SUs, which, when in proper repair, require only a periodic check of the damper oil.
You're not SERIOUSLY suggesting there's anything GOOD about Mikuni carbs, are you?
CD175 Zenith Strombergs will drive any sane man crazy in a short time
--- The SU was by far superior, but had emission issues that the ZS CD carbs could more easily address.
