Gravity feed should work fine. We have a saying here in the hills...."Gravity works!" In an industrial application the carb would have been fed from a remote tank which could have been located some distance away and not necessarily above the carb.

Best thing I ever did for my Ford after buying the manual was installing a pertronix electronic ignition. Now I have instant starting. I also have a 12 volt conversion, using the 12 volt starter the diesel used, and a 12V generator. I also have the optional Kohler gas tank /no sheet metal option, but that's another story. Have fun and be safe.. Feel free to ask away!(might want to get over on the Ford board, too. )
