Six Pack Carbs?

I remember seeing a video a while back where a guy cut par of the carb to fit.
For the outboard carbs would this work? Holley 0-4412S
Its has the same bolt pattern, cant I just remove the choke cut it to make a half circle and figure out linkage?
It might work..... as a mechanical secondary with progressive linkage, if it's got side-hung float bowls. Cathedral bowls won't work.
And you will have to be a GOOD tuner.
