I hate to tell you this, but the answers to all of your questions are very model specific.
Power? Both the Ford V-10 and the GM 8.1 are sound engines. If you think you need more horsepower, slowdown and enjoy the scenery.
Handling? Again this is unit specific. We had a 1979 Cayo Motorvator that I could pull through a highway exit and leave the pickup that had been tailgating some where behind. Big handling mistake is to let even little kids ride in the cab-over bunk. I know the view is incredible, but any weight that high is too much.
Total payload? Again, that comes down to what the builder did and how much tire (Never over load the tires) the unit was set up to mount.
Come back and tell us what C you are looking at and what you plan to do with it.
