356SC's had these sort of Solex carbs but can't remember how big they were.I think this was the only model that had them.Others had Zeniths.I can't tell if yours are downdraught or sidedraught.

solex side draughts were used on the Toyota 18RGU and 2TGU twin cam celicas, the Mitsubishi Saturn 4G32 twin cam (Galant GTO and jap GSR lancers only), and some euro stuff swapped between solex and weber, such as lancia.

Downdraughts were used on the 356 porsche from memory, and some euro V8's.

They are crap, very problematic, I wouldn't bother keeping them personally. they work well when in good nick but the venturi and choke tubes vibrate loose and flog out, throttle shafts flog out, and you cannot get parts for them anymore.
