Can someone clear this up for me please?

I am new to the turbo Mopar scene and a recent convert from Ford to dodge as I have had better luck the Mopars than i ever had with fords.

What I need to know is which cars Shelby touched and which ones he did not.

And what is Turbo Z? I can't find any pictures.

I am looking at an Omni ES for tearing apart and turning into a Shelby replica and I need to know what to do with it.

www.shelbyregistry.com is a good site with info on the actual shelby cars, and here is a quick list:

86 GLHS (Omni)
87 GLHS (Charger)
87 Shelby Lancer
87 CSX (shadow)
88 CSX-T (shadow)
89 CSX (shadow, VNT)
89 Shelby Dakota

The other shelby cars (ie Shelby Daytona, Lancer Shelby, etc) were basicaly trim packages built by chrysler.

The turbo z is basically a "pre-shelby" daytona. Turbo Z is just the name dodge chose.

So what would I need to do to turn an Omni ES into a shelby clone? T2 motor and a valve cover that says "Shelby Turbo" or is there more to it?
