I don't see why not, replacing the solenoid with a blowgun as on the "normally" configured valves.

its possible but the anti syphon part of it is extremly restricting in flow and the main vavle is even no as good

Correct. These have been modified for a compact over/under, but the performance leaves a little to be desired.

So yes, but it is related to a well known
snake...
These valves are referred to in Latin as
"Floa Constrictor"

The Sprinkler Valve covers this, as well as a few modification techniques for an anti-siphon sprinkler valve.
As has been mentioned, for performance, just get an inline and a couple of elbows. The only true reason to use this type of valve is to make that bend without the elbows.
