BBBUSA has an extension swingarm with a block as you describe to hold his caliper too but its on the bottom side or his swingarm.  I dont see why you couldn't just flip it over on top . If the carrier block can rest evenly on top of your swingarm and you have enough slack in your brake line  to reach the axle, you should have no problems.

Might sound like a good idea until you hit a pothole or emergency braking is needed. I would say bad call, unless this is just a show bike and you are never going to ride it in the streets.
