TY to do list:
Motor Mounts with the engine in. Fun. ~Done
Aluminum Drums / 7/8" manual wheel cylinders / All secondary shoes installed ~Done
Installed ATR Headers. ~Done
3" Downpipe. ~Done
3" Cat Delete. ~Done
PA State inspection/emissions ~passed Done
3" Borla Rear section exhaust. ~Done
Innovate WBO2. ~Done.
Ostrich2 w/Bluetooth Wireless ~Done
Code 59 ~Done
I didn't get to the suspension items I wanted to ran outta $$$.
(keeping stock turbo so I can run in "Stock Turbo" class @Nationals)
Motor mounts looked like a burnt marshmallow and had engulfed the bolts. My fan is now perfectly centered in the shroud with the new mounts. Fan was hitting on the bottom.

Tuning to make it a bit more driveable and a little less pig rich. Pretty sure I fouled a plug the other day. Then i need to unmount a tire to fix the valve stem, remount it, then attempt an inspection. Have some other things that would be nice to do, but aren't deal breakers (make the tach work, rewire power, rewire fuel pump, etc).
I washed it the other day, but it needs a full detail inside and out.
We'll see how busy July is to see what kind of buttoning up progress i can make. Right now i'm pretty cobbled together, but that's ok becuase it seems to work.

Re: What are you doing to get ready for Carlisle 2015
Items my son and I have completed so far:
New NGK UR5 plugs
New MSD cap and rotor
Oil change
Tranny external filter change
Purple wire fixed and a new battery cable.
Installed the Forge Billet wastgate but still need to adjust the rod for the boost it is set to high.
What is still outstanding.
A detail at least for what i can remember. I have a list created at home in the garage.

Re: What are you doing to get ready for Carlisle 2015
It passed inspection..
All of the new parts seem to be working quite nicely. The only issue is my VC is either really tight or locked up. I'm hoping it just got tight from sitting on a shelf for nearly 10 years... If it doesn't loosen up after a bit of driving I'll either be buying a new one or swapping out the one that is in an Astro Van case that I have..
I'll be towing it to Carlisle with the Expedition in the background of that pic..

Put a TCI pan on it, changed u-joints, took it out, and it runs smoother now (esp 1-2 shift)

Re: What are you doing to get ready for Carlisle 2015
I pulled the transfer case out. I've driven it quite a bit the past week and it never loosened up like I'd hoped it would. As it turns out it never would have freed up considering what I found. My planetary assembly is toast and there was a nice chunk of gear in there locking everything together:
I had to call Tom to figure this out but this is how you get your viscous coupler off of the shaft:
So the good news is I ordered a new VC the other day and I have another spare case out of an Astro Van. I am going to use the guts from the astro van case(the chain is way tighter) with the new VC and the 32 spline output shaft and tail housing from the Bravada case. I'm hoping the VC shows up this week as I'm out of town the next two weeks, get back for a couple days, then its time to head to Carlisle..

Yesterday I washed my truck, checked all of the lights, fixed a broken fog lamp, checked all fluids, tire pressure, etc. I need to finish installing all of the mounting cups for my door cladding then I am going to take it for an inspection this week... Hoping it passes...
