I have used these guys during my builds and when working on my Mustang. Mike knows Ford parts so well he can have the part number before you even finish describing what you need.

Great guys to do business with.

I purchased my TKO 600 with the short input shaft back in 2005 from Mike and they were great to deal with.

Same here, guys - I bought my TKO-600 transmission, Quick Time bellhousing, Forte custom slave cylinder, McLeod custom drilled aluminum flywheel, etc...from Mike - he's a pleasure to deal with.

I’ve purchased lots of parts from Mike over the last 8 or 9 years including some custom setup stuff on both cars. He has some smoking specials from time to time too.

Glad to see you here at CC Mike!

Hi,
I'm Mike Forte. I've been running Forte's Parts Connection for more than 27 years now (WOW, I'm old). It is a specialty performance parts warehouse that does mostly transmissions (4-5 & 6 speeds along with automatics), clutches, bellhousings and external slave hydraulic clutch release assemblies. I specialize in complete turnkey engine & transmission packages.
I have a Land & Sea engine dyno and Jesse Rondeau is my full time machinist. He just loved engines as a kid, went to 2 years of college at School of Automotive Machinists in Texas www.samracing.com . Jesse was in the JEGS ENGINE MASTERS CHALLENGE. He blueprints everything and dynos most engines.
If you have any questions just give me a call.
Thanks,
Mike Forte

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your welcoming me and Forte's Parts Connection.
I finally got some of the paperwork to Brent. I hope I can help people here on Club Cobra & Club Hotrod with transmission bellhousing & clutch related needs. I have many hydraulic clutch release setups for most applications.
Please call with any questions,
Mike Forte

Hi,
I just wanted to tell everyone that Tremec has a new 700 FT. LBS. T-56 MAGNUM. It is very much like the t-56 but has much wider drive & driven gears, multiple shifter locations, mechanical & electronic speeo drive and a 31 spline output shaft. These are all aftermarket transmissions and have Ford, GM, Mopar and AMC applications along with custom applications like V-12 BMW, etc.....
Forte's is one of 10 TREMEC ELITE dealers that will be selling the new T-56 MAGNUM.
I know the T-56 will fit into a FFR with IRS but it can fit with straight axle if the engine is moved forward a little.
Email mike@fortesparts.com for more info.
Thanks,
Mike Forte

I could not have gotten through my build without Forte's! They went over and above to help me through my issues. Mike even called me after hours to help me out. This is a company that truely wants things to be right and make you happy, not just make a sale!

Excellent business and great customer service. Can't say enough!!!!

Dangerous Doug · #16 (**permalink**) 12-31-2009, 08:40 PM

Purchased my TKO-600 and Quicktime bellhousing from Fortes.

Great service. Great support. Highly recommend them. Made sure I had the correct input shaft for the TKO-600 and depth-matched bellhousing. Installation went without a hitch.

They have some nice brake adapter brackets to upgrade disc brakes on some applications too. Some sweet hardware.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the kind words and support. As some of you know I just celebrated my 28 year in business. The party was really nice and lots of customers, friens, my parents and even high school friends attended.
Let's pray for a good year for all.
HAPPY 2010
Mike Forte
