Do they check under the hood or just OBD-II??
I just posted my results from my last inspection ^^^^^^and I got a "pass" for EGR even though it's deleted, maybe Jeff & Marty worked some magic in there
I dont see how swapping in the 6r will affect any of these systems, or maybe I'm missing something...
The PCM transmission control won't work and would have to be disabled, which will be queried during most state inspections. Depending on the state, they won't tolerate too much to be disabled. Underhood checks are part of many inspections, certainly are in California.

Put the EGR on, load SCT tune "Emissions" and pass the test.
Then take off the EGR, load tune and get back to having fun.

SC abandoned inspections years ago.......lost money and accomplished nothing!!!:beer:

I have it registered at my summer home (that I let a Buddy on here buy and live at [emoji6]) farther west in the state where they don't deal with emissions. Yet. Even my insurance guy had no issues with it being under a different address.
It's been two years but I don't see it lasting forever. I'm afraid the day will eventually come when I will have to let her go to rid the headaches of owning a car that sees less mileage than any other in my city..

Yes sir!
The UPS truck should be making a few deliveries this week, fabrication of the hot side beginning this weekend.
Looking forward to my transition back into the boost life!
Can Ford Beat Chevy? We're going to find out! My old Vic trapped 122 through the 1/4 on a stock 2005 6.0L Silverado 2500 motor, 14psi/VP101 Race Gas, 10 degrees timing, at 4200 lbs race weight. This video was on a stock stall converter with no boost until about 40' out. MPH was good for low 11's if she could hook up on a boost launch.
I'm aiming for 11 anything on 9psi/pump 91 octane with the Marauder. Vic was 14psi/race fuel in the video below, with very conservative timing so I didn't hurt the motor being all stock. This should be interesting! From what I've seen, with the 4v Coyote via others, it appears to make more HP per lb of boost than the GEN 3 bowtie's did, which makes sense with the head flow data. Only time will tell! We shall see here shortly.

I'd be perfectly ok with those results!
I went with the On3 78/76, this would be the same as my Malibu and Vic build.

Luckily, I have not. My Vic was driven in completed form for about 10k miles and over a year and a half with no issues. The Malibu I owned for a much shorter period of about 4 months, but nothing to report there either.
Hopefully, my success with this particular turbo, will hold true onto this project as well.

Random photos before teardown taken last weekend. Car has nearly 1k miles since the swap was completed, most of which was accumulated between September and October. Final inspection for other issues before proceeding with fabrication this evening:
RH Side shorty header, fits very well. I had to heat and bend the flange inward about 2 inches to clear the Marauder frame. I'm a FIRM believer that when you swap a car, you do everything you can to maintain the OE frame and body/structure as best possible:
LH side Mustang shorty. Only modification was slight flattening of one of the primary tubes by the steering shaft, maybe 1/16" at best:
Trans cooler line adaptation and Marauder shift linkage adaptation:
Here's a money shot, the 6R80/Stock Marauder Cross Member and trans mount:
Easily converted return style fuel system using an '02 Grand Marquis hanger sender:
And here is where it begins. I should have a shot of this partially hung late this evening or early tomorrow morning. At this time, the system is going to be laid out exactly as the Crown Vic. RH side stays a factory shorty header, crossover under the bellhousing/trans area, into the back of a custom built manifold on the LH side, continuing down the LH cylinder head forward while connecting to the LH exhaust ports, turning up at the front of the head to the turbo flange. Down pipe will fit perfectly underneath the Master Cylinder and exit out right where the stock LH manifold did. From there I will Y it out to the Marauder's dual exhaust, albeit through dual tube style race mufflers over the stock Marauder mufflers. She'll finally have some real bite to that exhaust note.
More to come!
