I checked the fit of a later style float in the early carb and if I make a new pivot pin, cut off one of the float valve arms, and make a spacer bushing to push the float to one side... I MIGHT be able to use the later floats in the early carb. The only concern I have about this is determining if the resulting fuel level in the carbs would be the same when the floats are set to the book. I need to test this on the bench before committing to try it on the car.
If I decide to take on this project I'll document what I do and post it here for other early GT6 owners facing this in the future.
