My Dads 1964 Pearson had a pair of them...twin screw. One turned the opposite direction.

They used that intake system for clearance. They were under the flat cabin deck. You pulled up a hatch and there they were. With a normal intake system, the carbs and flame arrestors would stick through the floor.

 

I thought about trying to buy an old YBlock powered Chris-Craft or Century boat to go with the rest of my Y-block ****.

You can buy the "Interceptor" valve cover decals however. I'm getting a couple of pairs of them for my project cars.

 

Dowty Turbocraft Interceptor, I believe most used the Carter YH carbs
