#1. And I'm only answering like this because of the way the question is worded; No! Do not try to put a solid linkage where the vac. secondarys are now. W/O the extra accelerator pump it would fall flat on its face any time you opened it up.

#2. If you meant go with a double pumper type carb; I have to ask why? If the carbs are similar in size then your net gain would be negligible. It might jump off the line slightly quicker but then that’s not what most people do with GT40s. If you go with a larger carb just make sure it matches the rest of your combo or drivability problems could be the name of the game. Its worth considering as well that your engine will be more well mannered with a larger carb if it has vacuum secondarys because they won’t open until the engine needs them.
