Never done it, but I imagine it's doable. An MA-3 carb, jetted for a C-85 should do it, though You'll need an airbox which fits, perhaps off a C-150 or similar - Will it fit in the cowl? The effectiveness of carb heat would be one of the things which would have to be evaluated or tested - not an easy test to pass. Perhaps you'd have to add a mixture control, or wire rich the MA-3 mixture arm.
Depending upon what you can find in parts catalogs, this could require a serialized STC, again, doable, though with some cost.
