Not in the North American market. Only Aftermarket. You could put a Holley 500 CFM 2Bbl on a Clifford intake or Offy intake.
For the same effort you can run a 4 Bbl, too, and get better low-end cruise on the Primaries. I ran a 4 Bbl Holley 4160 R8007 390 CFM for 25 years. When that carb was clapped out, I got a 500 CFM Edelbrock 1404 [AFB Clone.] Quite happy with my set-up.

South America might be different.
I've seen pix of 1050 CFM Quadrajets on Brazilian L6s with cast iron GM/SA manifolds. Pure cane sugar alcohol as auto fuel doesn't burn as hot as petrochemical gasoline.

Learn Portuguese. Make Brazilian friends.
