The 194 was the first in a series of thinwall casting 6-cylinders that use the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the V-8's. Others in the series include the 230, 250, and they share the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the 292. Your truck could have been converted to that engine by installing a V-8 bellhousing from the 50 or 60's with a little tinkering with the crossmember where the bellhousing mounts. That allows the same transmission to be bolted up to the late model engine. Speed or accessory equipment for a 230 or 250 will be a close match to that engine, which is totally different than the 216/235 types.

Edit: Unless you use a very small 4-barrel, your carburetor choices will be extremely limited. That engine simply does not have enough displacement to need a 4-barrel, or enough volumetric flow to make one work properly. A progressive 2-barrel like the Holley/Weber would be a much wiser carb choice.
