Chevy Vortec vs Ford V10
I'm looking at a 2001 Coachman Mirada which came with both the Vortec 8.1 and the Ford V10. Which one is better for gas mileage, power, and reliability?

I don't think there is a big difference in mileage, power or reliability. Test drive and get the one that is that is the most comfortable. See if one is easier to get in and out of the living area from the front seats.
Ditto on the mileage. Lots of threads over the years about "what are you getting for gas mileage and what engine". From all the posts I've read they are about the same. Albeit it looks like Ford gets one more mile per gallon, but there are soooo many variables regarding options, towing and how a person drives.
Across the board though and from my experience is if you keep it at a constant 55 you will net many more mpg's.
