Edelbrock Heads for 318

I recall back around 1983 I knew a 50 year old guy who kept spending over $1000 every 9 months or so on a Ford overdrive trans for his hot 302 motor. Back then those overdrive trans were weak but he was getting 22 mpg on the freeway with it, but they were always giving out in 6-9 months and he spend another $1000. After he was on the 3rd trans I ask him why not just get a C 6 auto trans for $500 that would last a long time. After all I told him the money you are saving on gas is not worth throwing $2000 every 12-18 months on a new trans--gas was only $1.10 a gallon then. He told me that he would rather give his money to his trans guy then to the oil companys! even if it cost him MORE money. Thats how some folks are I guess
