F53 Not Ideal for me
Ok, I have taken a 5000 mi trip in my 97 Pace Arrow........never had an F53 before....had Winnebago, Allegro, and explorer. WE love the Pace Arrow inside , but we are not growing fond of the F53 / 4...

Ford 460 and first gen V10 are known to breath very poorly. Drop headers an straight thru mufflers on it, and it will make it run cooler and much better responsiveness. Hot engines really don't make good power. It is theoretically possibly that the coach builder did not allow enough cooling in the engine compartment and intake air, which could make the coach sluggish. Get cool air into the intake, and get the hot air out, and it should act much better.
While I'm not some big proponent for Banks, you can see their specs show the power increases available for the 460 and the first gen V10 are substantial. That means there is a lot of available power power that is getting choked off by poor breathing. You don't have to use Banks to get that kind of power, but it is just documentation that shows how poorly the original design breaths.
