I like the Vortec engine because 1) quieter and 2) in my experience gets better milage. My Ford got about 6.9 and this Vortec is getting better than 8 but unusual to get 9 mpg. Smooth shifts too. I drove a Ford V10 and could not hear myself think!! REVS really high in my opinion.
Surprising with Ford controlling the gas chassis market, they haven't came out with a pusher and much like Workhorse did with the UFO, especially since they already have a diesel engine that might be adaptable, as well. With these, the noise would be insignificant with either gas or diesel.
The UFO's weren't around long enough before the demise of WH RV chassis's and don't think that a diesel was ever installed in one of these UFO's.
