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?

Drifting into another topic, but it might be that like the 460 V8 and the pre-Vortec 454 Chevy, the full Banks kit offered more substantial gains on the early 270 to 310 HP versions of the V10. The later Vortec 8100 and 3-valve V10 engines were factory tuned for more power, less incentive to spend another $3000-4000 for smaller gains.
