Sounds like you are under way. Don't forget about the bolt that hold the turbo support bracket while your down there getting those exhaust nuts. Yes your need a new exhaust mani gasket also pic up a turbo mounting gasket kit too. Then you can find those oil return lines over at turbo ford. Then as for the turbo's you can rotate the front housing don't think you can't on the rear. They did make some t3's that are water cooled. Those would have the oil holes top and bottom then water holes are on the sides.

That would explain the 2 holes on the sides of mine that are plugged with a bolt then. Thanks a ton, you have been a tremendous help

Ok everythig is loose now except the tube that comes out the exhaust manifold at the rear(towards the firewall) It appears rusted in place and before I break it(not wanting to) what is it and where does it go, maybe I will disconnect the other end of it and get it off later.  I anxiously await any reply as I am having so much fun I can hardly contain myself

That sir is your EGR tube. It heads over and connects to the EGR valve right there at the upper intake. Hope that helps
