450 cu in or 3.3 diesel..?

Although I doubt a buyer can get his "choice" of engines in the same coach..??..In comparable sized ( weight...etc) coaches do people feel one engine is MUCH more power than the other.

Im not worried about MPG as I am in "running our or power" at the top of a STRONG grade when I might be towing something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You pay more up front, or more at the pump. However, unless you drive a bunch of miles a year, you will likely never get the purchase price back in MPG and / or resale value.


    HUH? No one asked about purchase price...etc...etc. And I wont be driving all that many miles each year so that the fuel consumption doesnt bother me...but the question AGAIN is....

    The 460 Ford all that more powerful that the 3 liter Mercedes engine??

    I Guess they arent installing the 460 engine they are using the V10 motor??)

    3.3 liter is about 200 cu in so if both diesel that would be smaller.
