While I have my engine out I looking into installing a air fuel gauge. Has anyone welded two bungs in the headers so you get both banks. Also is the a gauge that can display (switch) each bank?

Not on 814 engine, but for the 6 cylinder with a carb throat per cylinder (pair of triple zeniths) I've Put an o2 sensor bung on each exhaust at tube - so 6 in all. Hope to be able to ensure each cylinder has correct afr. And then further back in the system another two, one on each secondary pipe - as you are suggesting. I won't be using 6 or 8 o2 sensors simultaneously though. Too expensive (for me).
In due course I may use one of the close to engine bungs to run a exhaust gas temp probe.
Overkill probably. But easy to do while the exhaust system was being constructed.

I did not realize they are that pricey. The only logical placement for the bungs is on the collector on the muffler just aft of the connections for a dual system.

I just bought their MTXL-Plus AF gauge w/ 02 sensor. It's pretty easy to make sure both carbs are running similarly, so I'm happy with just the one mounted aft of the collector on the muffler.

If you are getting one, make sure it is a wide band sensor. Narrow band sensors are only good for monitoring fuel economy and will not help much with tuning.
