All you have to do is stick a proper sized wood block in the tremolo gap closer to the neck. You can have it blocked now and still bend down. Block both sides to have it completely blocked.

He wants to turn a TOM (gibson-style bridge) in to a trem-style bridge.

It'll take a lot of wood removal, and if you've never done something like that before I'd recommend taking it to a pro to make sure everything is done properly. Once you pay to have that done and buy the Floyd, I think it'd be a better idea just to buy a guitar already equipped with a trem.
