Don't have my kit yet but in the mean time I am prepping my Coyote for a smooth installation in the future. I ordered my drivetrain from Forte and received everything in a timely manner. One change I did notice when I received everything was a Canton oil instead of a Moroso pan ok not a big deal both quality pans and the Canton was for a Coyote gen 1 and gen 2. When I went to put the pan on it would not sit flat on the gasket/windage tray. If I slide it back 1/4" it would sit flat but the bolt holes wouldn't line up hmmm. Well after some investigation I saw that the hump on the windage tray near the flywheel preventing the wide lip on the Canton pan from sitting flat. 69683In the pictures you can see where I rubbed the pan against the tray to leave marks, to see what the interference was.69685 Well pulled the pan and the pickup back out. Then starred at the gasket/tray and thought maybe I don't want to take it off. But something had to be done. So I took a putty knife and wedge between the block and the gasket. Luckily it is only RTV in the four corners just to keep it in place. Once it was off I took a die grinder to the it and relieved just enough to let it site flat and holes to line up. 69684 Also FYI the new Gen 2 grate engine does not come with a oil level sending unit in the pain and does not have the wiring for one, at least that is what I am seeing. So looks like I have to order a 20mm x 1.5 plug to plug up the pan. I looked at Edwardb's build log he has a Gen 2 but his came with a one and the wiring for it. In the picture I put an arrow on where the wiring is suppose to come out at. Well kind of a long winded story but wanted to let others in the future using the crate Coyote what to expect. 69686

Thanks for posting.
I just ran into the same problem with my Canton pan. Also from Forte.
I used your solution and all is good. I also had to cut off the alignment tabs on the sides of the tray, the flat mounting surface of the new pan is wider than the old one.
Now, just have to get that plug ordered.
