Haha, yeah their prices are great. They found a good tranny guy to build my 4L60E and had a great price. The guy is Trent from Specialty Transmissions in Duncanville. Everything I've read on the guy has talked of how good he is, so I'm looking forward to it. It seems real hard to build a good 4L that can take ANY power. After this blows (if ever) it's th400 time.

its none of the above, the only thing he can get you discounted is if trt does the install. Erik isn't knocking $1k off the price of the motor just for trt, i can guarantee that. i don't need to talk to billy at trt to get a deal from Erik, i'll just call him and get a better deal on my own.

Man.... Skipper.. you need to chill. Why the neg waves man? All he was saying is he is happy with the package deal he got from Billy. Erik built my motor too... he is a great dude. I also know him and Billy do alot of buisness together. You may find you can get a good deal on one of Erik's motors from Billy (if you couldnt call Erik himself). Not everybody on the planet knows Erik personally and that isnt what the thread is about...

ooops... we all forgot... Matt gets the best deals on everything... he knows everything, everybody and owns a shop just like Billy at TRT....

Wonder how many motors he has built, sold, and installed in his shop??

Anyway, TRT has a 408 w/ Eagle 4.0 crank for sale at about 3600..... nice price IMO.

TRT is putting the setup together..... Erik does the machine work. He is the Engine builder for TRT...... like he was the builder for HPE iirc.

More than likely he's the builder for himself...But he sells his motors to the shops...
