My number for when they got trans-am might be a little off but it certainly wasn't until well after Eifman's death. Plus he didn't come up with the connection between the Jupiter mission until moments before he was killed and should have had absolutely no way to relay that information.
Of course you're right, and I'm wondering if Sunrise pulled their typical "Oh, we forgot to tell you that really smart guy from before, yeah well he knew everything. AND left messages to tell everyone," bullshit. I didn't think Eifman ever left his lab at all last season, and when he was killed he had just figured out where the engines must have come from. There shouldn't have been any time to figure out whatever the hell Billy put into Graham's Weeaboo since they were still doing their best to figure out what GN particles even were.
