You would be a lot better off trying to convert to Webbers. I am sure
if you poke around on the net, you could find a company (possibly in
the UK) that will sell a conversion kit. You could also go really wild
and try to find the mechanical fuel injection system off of a TR-5
(never sold in the US) or a UK spec TR6. If you are the adventurous
sort you could adopt one of the aftermarket fuel injection systems to
the TR6 engine (see below).

But really why do you want to do this? Why not rebuild the Strombergs?
If they are properly adjusted and synchronized, the car will run just
fine. I lived with them on a Jensen-Healey. They are a marvel of
British over-engineering and can consume countless hours of quality
time.

looks like strombergs, but its not.....
