Default what engine is this?

Saw this EL Ghia advertised and trying to work out what the engine is? Looks like an aftermarket turbo? And I didn't think there was a tickford badge onthe cover there either? Any ideas?

Looks like a Capa Supercharger

And as said it just looks like it has been bolted onto a stock 4.0

EL Ghia's have tickford motors - the head should have a T on it - that tickford badge on the rocker cover the owner must have just stuck it on there

You can just make out the bottom of the T.
