I couldn't tell through search if this question has been asked before.
The class A chassises use a 362hp 6.8L vs. the smaller van chassied class Cs with only 305hp. What is the difference? heads, cams, pcm tuning, etc? My E450 chassis with 340-350hp would be nice...
thanks!

That is why it is called econo line...............
Remember when you could get a custom cab? That was a plain as it got. It was the bottom of the barrel.

It has to do with the room under the Dog House of a Class C motorhome. The engine compartment is so encased that it is difficult to keep the compartment cool. If you check any of the Class C forums you will see a number of post talking about how hot the passenger floor area gets. However the 2V V-10 has plenty of grunt for moving around a Class C at better than highway speeds.

So what year did the 3v V-10 start? Which one would a 2001 V-10 excursion have and what would the HP be? I'm new to this gasser stuff.
Thanks,
