Default Will this turbo kit fit on a '68?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...spagenameZWDVW

Not sure if the link will work. If not, just go to ebay and search ford turbo kit. These are twin turbo kits and there are several available for only $850 plus some shipping. What am I missing here? Surely there is something major that is not included for this price.

Also, it says that its a 5.0L twin turbo kit that fits 79-93 GT. What makes it different? The headers? Would this have to be majorly
modified to fit a '68 GT with a 347 stroker. This car has quite a bit of room in the engine bay for a turbo kit.
I don't want a crappy kit. Should I not waste my time on this and look into a good single turbo kit?

I know I asked a lot of questions, but I appreciate any help. Thanks

the manifolds (not headers) might work which i don't see a problem with but those chinese snail shells you can ditch. you're better off parting one together individually then getting one of those "kits" theres a reason they are only $850.00

Google twin turbo kits and look at the prices of the stuff that comes up. WAY up there. I would be very leary of kit that cost less than a grand shipped. Something aint right. Just my opinion though.
