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?

Both are nearly identical in all three categories you listed. Both will get you down the road and will probably out last the house that is built on top of them. Considering the model year you are looking at, 2001, past maintenance would be a greater concern then chassis manufacture, at least for me.

Happy Trails.
