Default Can anyone ID this engine?

This came across the dock at my work the other day. All I can tell is that it all looks, its a smallblock, its got 8 spark plugs, looks like an old school 350, and its got a small turbo on top!!!

Im curious what this would have been from.











Im wondering if this is one of those 6.6 Turbos that came in those smokey and the bandit cars...?

Probably is a pontiac motor. Alot were factory painted blue from the early 70's through the 80's. My buddy has a '71 lemans motor in his cj5 that looks the same as that one. Minus the turbo. Can you pull an Serial off the block?
