I am not understanding the problem that people are having with the 460 in an RV..Same 385 series as the pickups where they speak so highly of it getting 150-60k miles without a problem except fuel mileage.Some never hearing of any major problems with that engine.
A quote for the 1993: For 1993 and up 460s saw an improved cylinder head design that further improved power. While perhaps best known for its poor gas mileage, the later 460 is considered by most to be a reliable, long-lasting, heavy-duty, and powerful engine for towing and hauling purposes, as well as a good starting point for engine builders building dragsters.
I was always a 454 guy until now,but I never heard of the 460 problems like I here them here..Could it be the lack of driving the RV or just getting it to hot..I have no clue at this point but it does seem to be mostly RV's that I read these problems.
Knock on wood,but I have 60K on my 460 in a Class C without any problems to date but I am very curious why some seem to have this issue on RV's and you don't see it on the pickups.
