Default craigs list score

I just purchased two new turbos off craigs list and the two stainless headers for $500. Now I need to know where to get my waste gates and BOVs. Can any of you point me in the right direction.

That's an awesome score for that price. They look in great shape from your photo. I wish I could help you with suggestions on the extra pieces you need.

Nice score Tony. Did you pay the guy that found them for you a finders fee? I am willing to accept checks or cash. LOL! Congrats and let me know when you start mocking them up I would love to help or watch. TT is what I would like to do on the next build.

I think I might know where there is a rusted out 68 for around 500. The guy that sold me the turbos said that there is one by his house. Do you think your wife would let you build another one any time soon? Thanks again for tip on the turbos. Now you need to keep an eye out for a EFI set up.

If I start another project is will be a 69/70 Fastback but thanks for the info on the 68. I will have to sell this one before I can get away with doing another. I just don't have the space for 2 projects. Heck, you know what I am talking about since you have seen my garage.

Nice, are the headers for a classic or for a fox body? From what I understand what Joe67 is stating they are from a fox. Could you conform this will they bolt up to a 5.0 with out modifying the shock tower? I saw a fox for my donor they are asking $1500 but I am debating of buying it. I saw some bbk headers in there and it would help my decision if I am able to use them. Thanks.
