Hi, I'm Mike Forte. Thank you for your interest in Forte's Parts Connection. I've devoted my whole business career in providing high performance parts and making custom parts so we can assemble cars with the best possible quality available at competitive prices.

I've been playing with high performance cars, boats & motorcycles since 1970. Currently I have a retired group of racecars 1968 Z-28 & 92 Camaro tube chassis GT-1 car. I now play with my 2001 Suzuki GSX 1300R HAYABUSA with a turbo on it. The best it's run so far is 9.63 @ 154mph with a 2.08 short time. Lots of fun!!!

More about Forte's Parts:

Back in 1993, Mike Forte developed the original conversion of the Ford Tremec into a GM 5-speed. These have always bolted to OEM GM aluminum bellhousings without an adapter plate. The Early Ford & FE Tremec were also originals from Mike Forte. His latest developements are external slave clutch release conversions & cable release conversions too.

Forte's Parts Connection has now finished it's 27th year! We are direct with most performance parts manufacturers. Forte's competes with many mail order parts with tech support on nites & weekends.

Forte's has developed many parts in the past 24 years. With Forte's original GM Tremec 5 speed introduced back 1993 that bolts directly to a factory GM bellhousing. With the Early Ford Tremec and FE TKO that also bolt to a Factory Top Loader Ford bellhousing. With these Tremec's made to fit factory bellhousings the Mustang Tremec product line was expanded to fit hundreds of thousands of classic muscle cars & hot rods.

In 1996, Forte's original firewall adjustable quadrant kit designed to use a Mustang OEM clutch cable. Using the OEM cable was to insure trouble free operation without the plagued cable failure of the aftermarket kit that had been available up until that time.

In 1994 I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Smith and then Dave Smith before FFR made their first kit. Mark visited me countless times with an ambition of building a "Cobra" kit car. Our conversations and many of my ideas spawned many inherent designs built into the FFR chassis. The FFR includes the donor idea, sheet metal firewall, parts of the front end. Many were modeled from my GT-1 racecar I had built from 1991-1993.
