Default Hmm.. oil fittings on my engine.. was it supercharged?

I was under my car yesterday and got a good look at everything, I put in some new NGK's while I was workin on it too.

But I noticed three curious things. One was what appears to be an oil return fitting on the front of the pan. Second, a T-fitting coming off the oil filter mount housing, and third, what looks like brand new heads. Pics are below...

Anyone else think my car was super/turbo-charged at some point in the past?

Well you're right about a new head(s), return lines, dunno. Could've been an oil cooler, could've been a turbo. The world may never know.

I'm sure you noticed but your chassis ground has been cut. Sometimes people cut that instead of unbolting it when they pull a engine.
