Engine replacement
Had a 460 in a 96 class A go bad this Spring. Leaking and smoking, 2 qts. in 50 miles. Ford doesn't make this motor anymore, everything I have is obsolete. Not just anyone can do a swap in a gasser RV...

there was a fellow here about a year ago that swapped out a 460. came out through the front, and he did it at an abandon gas station. Seemed like quite a job. I wish I could remember the guys name. Maybe he will see this and respond, good luck
I think this is the one you're talking about: My Repower Adventure.
Good one, but that's not the one. I wish I could remember the guy's name, too. It was indeed at an abandoned gas station and I remember it got flooded.
Mine came out the driver's door. If yours doesn't have a driver's door things get quite a bit more complicated. It's the labor that's killer, which is why I did it myself. I found a used crate engine for $1,000. Figure another couple hundred bucks in incidentals (fluids, hoses, random stuff).
