The video confirms it is based on the BB Chevy motor. They must have bought the tooling or worked out a deal with GM.

The 270 hp rating is for class 7 trucks (GVWR of 33,000 lbs) that are expected to see a pretty heavy duty cycle. I suspect they can easily raise that hp rating for MH usage.

But still for such a heavy motor will the higher cost be worth it, they have only been making the 8.8 since 2011 and that's still rather new on the market, Ford needs to offer a turbo on the V-10 and that will wake it right up..

I'll take the one that delivers the most torque,....and located in the rear.

Not everyone wants a diesel, gas can be cheaper by far if you add up the cost to maintain and the cost to buy a diesel motorhome..

I don't want a 40 ft DP for the type of camping that I do(NP,NFS,SP CG's)they are just too big to maneuver on tight roads with small sites. A 32ft MH with a 8.8 eng as Mark stated above with 270 to 400 hp with the larger 6 speed Allison transmission would be ideal for what I wanted to do.
