Turbo Grand Prix? What???

Going by JUST THE PICTURES, looks like someone had a donor 1978/79 turbo engine out of a Buick. In 1980 GM used an in car CCC system to control detonation and spark knock, only 78/79 got the crude fan shroud mounted detonation knock sensor computer. The Red air snorkeler was used 1978-81, and chrome for 1982 and 1983. But being this has a red air snorkel and the fan shroud computer system, this is a 78/79 engine swap, NOT factory at all for the GP. I like the ingenuity and it automatically gets a A++ just for not LS swapping it!!!!
 
There is a 5.7 diesel 81 GP for 3500 near me...
He accepts trades. But not an 06 Saturn with twenty eight thousand miles. Pffft.

Bet the Eng is locked up. lol.
