Well, I hope he pays me a spotter's fee.....
Seriously though, Tony will build you an engine that you'll love. Be very careful about dropping in to see him. Everytime I walk in there, it's like visiting Ford Heaven. At any time, there might be 4 or 5 motors near completion, each making in excess of 600hp without nitrous, blowers etc. There might be 3 or 4 custom, sheet-metal tunnel ram intake manifolds. Maybe 2 or 3 complete dry sump assemblies. Add in some billet cranks, Brodix and Blue Thunder ProStock heads, and you get the idea. It's a mindblower!!!!
390ish... Has he said what bore and stroke combo he's thinking about. What crank and rods?
If the G-Force T5 internals are anywhere near the quality of their other parts, I would use them anyday over the Tremec. You'll likely save money, save weight AND have a stronger box.
