Relative to the Ford V10's, I would love to have the newer 3 valve V10 and the 5 speed tranny. The real question is how much is it worth. I would probably pay $2000-$3000 for someone to install the extra power and gear into my MH, but that's about it. I get along just fine with the 310 hp and 4 speed tranny
Of course a newer MH is worth than an older MH, so figure accordingly.
So you like the 310 HP & 4 speed Mark ?.
I'm tickled with our 99 275 HP & 4 speed, so can only dream what your 310 or those with the 362 HP engines are like.
Course though, after my years of running up & down the east coast with 238 Detroits bellering in my ears, an old inline 250 6 cylinder Chevy gas would probably be ok with me. Our 275 HP does do good though, I've no complaints.

Yes, I get along with it fine-------and I've towed a 5000 lb toad all over the country. The extra hp and the extra gear would be nice, but I would rather have a 2004 MH with the 310 hp and 4 speed in good condition and priced reasonably than a 2006 MH in fair condition and over priced.
To the OP, first find a MH (in good condition) with a floor plan that the DW likes and is fairly priced------then consider the drivetrain.
