I salvaged an entire bolt in turbo setup for my saab, but then I sold the saab to pay for part of my car. That would've been nuts. The saabs used the same exhaust bolting mounts, so the 2.0T would fit on the 2.3 n/a and then you could turbo them. Ive found a complete ratchet/socket set once, other misc things.

i had to get a new wind shield wiper pump motor for my old 85 firebird. i could have ordered one for $240 from my machanic but went to the junk yard and found one there. i took it out and up to the service desk. i told the guy i only needed 3 or 4 of the screws that held it on, so he sold the whole thing to me for $4. i went home a happy man.

84 firebird motor is a easy find cutlass's and lasabers and alot of evrythings should cross over.
