The only unique linkage piece is the link between the two carburetors and would be quite easy to make. The link from that link to the accelerator pedal link is same as with the single 4bbl Rochester. Fuel lines are also relatively easy to make, as is the choke stove pipe. I know of several occasions when Daytona Parts has modified standard 4GCs to Caribbean specifications, you might give them a call to see if they can still do this. The throttle shaft on the 2nd carburetor is unique and IIRC so is the fast idle setup. So the manifold and batwing remain the crucial items to locate.

As to ewrecks recollection of fully restored 55 and 56 Caribbean full 2 x 4 bbl assemblies at Hershey, yes - they were made up and offered by a good friend and they were good deals at $4500. He currently has no more.
