The carb will not line up with the factory holes and there is no aftermarket intake to adapt the carb to the block. You can probably have one machined to fit by a content machine shop for a few bucks.

the carb you listed is a float type carb with a venturi type needle that extends into the fuel bowl. The carbs are good but I do not know if it will work efficiently with your application. Depending on your mods that your doing to your flatty will determine if its a go or not. You may be better off purchasing a tillotson carb and intake and that way your able to tune tha carb to your engine. After you spend a few bucks at the machine shop for an intake and the headache of getting it to function correctly for you it might not be worth it. But then again, barstool racers are all about making due with what you have and a little southern inginuity LOL. Good luck and have fun
