Default Turbo info needed

Just lets pretend I could fab up anything, but have no money, and I want to turbo my 460 efi'd ford. I was thinking of using two off a turbocoupe. I know they make 14pounds stock. All I want is about 10 pounds. I think they are "t0-4's" same as grand nationals. Would this work? Or any other factory turbo I might find in a junk jard or on ebay for cheap? And how do you size a turbo? What are the numbers? I hear of .83 afr ratio, or somthing like that, when people talk about them, what does that mean? I hope some out there can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
