This is only my opinion.....
This does sound like a float problem-black smoke indicates a rich condition. I would suggest a carb rebuild with new needles & seats, and careful float adjustment. Remember, gasoline has lots of additives in it which eat up the seats quickly.
Now, just my opinion: I don't think changing the engine level would affect things too greatly, these cars operate at all sorts of angles. I may be wrong.
