Newbie Question Srry

I bought my car off a Buisness, that sells impounded cars.
I know the manager well, so i got lucky and got a 1980rx7 with lots of aftermarket parts.

I had a chance to talk to the original owner, and he's kept it up to shape.
but i forgot to ask if the 12a engine was street ported or not?
It might be cause of all the aftermarket parts, but im not 100% for sure.

sorry for the newbie question, but how can i can tell my engine had mods done to it, or maybe is even street ported or not?

is there any possible way to be sure?
cause if its already street ported, I'm just going to fix all the little inperfections,
and then slap on a turbo, and i dont really wanna turbo a stock 12a.

p-s. Is there a site that i could look turbo's for 12a engines?
or are they to limited?
