If you are asking whether you can convert your dual-carburetor T3 engine to
the single carb setup, yes it can be done pretty easily.  Just swap the
manifold, carbs, and air cleaner.

You would probably also want to swap the exhaust, too, so the heat riser
tubes still hook up correctly.

I don't see the point of doing this, but I have an original single carb off
a 1500cc engine with no heat riser tubes that would be a good fit.  It's
been sitting in my garage for 5 years...

What maintenance is necessary for the carbs?
