Chrysler did make a dual carb-dual exhaust manifold for the big block six...not sure if this was offered on 251s or 265s or both. These are very hefty cast iron pieces. I bought a couple of these in Canada where they werre found on some early 50s cars. In the US, they were available on some trucks and I have old sales literature showing this setup. A few companies made aftermarket dual carb manifolds for this engine also. Vintage had one on there wall for awhile but I don't recall seeing it last year.
There are dual carb setups for the 230 but these were all aftermarket items. You can still get these new.
Chrysler also fitted some mid 50s Dodges with a single 2-barrel carb...I have one of those setups also that I found in a junk yard on 56 Dodge as I recall.
