I presume you are asking about the Weber DCOE.  In the 40mm size
DCOE, there are over 100 variations resulting from differences in
internal bleeds, even though they all look the same.  The types are
stamped on the top of the carb, usually DCOE-16 or whatever.  You
need to ascertain which type is appropriate for the Spit.

The DCOEs are the hi-po carb from Weber, best for competition used
because of the easy and absolute repeatability in tuning across multiple
carbs.  The downdrafts are their cooking models, used on production
vehicles.

Sorry, cannot answer the fit question, though I suspect that there
are no problems in a Spit.

Stick with the Strombergs for now.  Carbs are among the last things to
be experimented with in a "hot" motor.  SUs a good choice, but I
do not know much about them.

Having said all that, I grew up with DCOEs and would not be caught dead
without them.  :)
