4bbl on 2bbl intake

i recently picked up a 4bbl carb and intake swaped it out had problem with the intake and ended up going back with the 2bbl due to lack of funds. my carb is junk and i have a good 600 edelbrock performer. my question is if i buy and adapter to put the 4bbl on the 2bbl intake will it work untill i can get a good intake? i have heard both good and bad about this but right now 20 bucks is better than 200. all help greatly appreciated thanks:read2:
