Default F-85 Jetfire

I've been reading about the old Buick 215 engine for a while and I found an article on wikipedia about the Olds F-85 Jetfire with a six bolt head turbocharged 215 engine.

I was looking a few pictures of it and noticed that the turbocharger is placed in the valley of the engine, and then I laughed. BMW and Ford are touting that they have new revolutionary designs with BMW's new 4.4 twin turbo V8 and Ford's 6.4 liter V8 Diesel about how their turbochargers are placed in the valley of the engine, but here is a design that is 46 years old and already has done this.

Then I found this little gem on ebay, man if I had the money I would restomod the hell out of this car.
F-85 for sale

Honestly though I would love to find this engine alone for sale and put it into something more modern with a better suspension.
