Gen3 Coyote arrival: The crate finally shows up
Cross-country delivery
First, this was a big moment in the build today!
So yet another package arrived!
After a 10-day trek, the Coyote and Tremec TKX landed from Forte’s Parts!
Also, this Gen3 Coyote arrival marks a huge milestone.

Forum-driven changes and unboxing
What I changed
Also, I made slight changes from forum knowledge.
- The QuickTime FM-6080 bellhousing is steel, which is much more protective of any clutch issues. This is a pretty important item, since you’re pretty much sitting next to the clutch and any parts would/could impair you for life. It’s pricier and heavier than the aluminum bellhousings, but I’ll opt to walk away for a few more dollars…
- The Centerforce clutch is a Ford Performance part – I’ve always been a Centerforce fan so I opted for it instead of the RAM clutch setup that is in the base kit.
- You may notice that I didn’t get Forte’s power steering kit, that’s only because I went with a KRC setup from FFR when I changed to the hydraulic PS setup.
So let’s get to the pics!
Crate weight and missing parts
Meanwhile, the crate is pretty sizeable.
It weighed 800 lbs.
Still, it arrived in one piece.
As a result, that was good!
Then, within 30 minutes, my boys and I tore into the crate.
Ultimately, only two things were missing.
First, the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder was missing.
Also, a few bolts and washers were missing.
So ACE Hardware covered the bolts and washers.
However, I had to call Mike for the slave cylinder.
Besides that, the Coyote ECU was on national backorder.
Therefore, I am still waiting for that piece.
