Hello Gang;
I seem to remember that the cross ram or dual induction, as I have also
heard it called perhaps incorrectly, was available with any big block RB
engine from a 361 to a 413. It was also available on in Plymouths, Dodges,
and Chryslers, stock in some models and as an option on others. It isn't
really unthinkable that an Imperial could be ordered with the dual induction
since they were well optioned cars stock and money was no object for many of
their original buyers.
Allegedly there were some 57' and 58' Imperials build with a Chrysler 300
engine, and that was entirely different animal from a regular 392. In the
case of a cross ram engine if the only real differences between that and a
regular 413 was the manifolds, carburation, and cam, then it would be quite
easy to build an Imperial with this setup even on the production line.
Best Regards
