Anyone have the new Ford 7.3L V8?
My new 2021 E-450 chassis motorhome will come equipped with it and the 6 speed transmission. Just curious how it compares to the Triton V10. I just sold my 1995 class C with the old 460 workhorse....

You will find a lot more if you just Google up "Ford 7.3 gas motorhome" or other terminology. Hope that helps.
There was a problem early on (with some installations) involving inadequate air flow in the area of the spark plug wires IIRC. It's been resolved by now (by most all the MH manufacturers) I am sure.
I have the venerable V-10 and it is amazing IMHO, but I would rather have the new one you are getting ...... more power, less noise and just a whisker better fuel economy (maybe.) Just my $.02
Safe travels to ya.
