>What about gas mileage?

Not to smack ya on the head or anything, but running 3K or less 95% of the
time you really should consider running a diesel unless you have a major
reason not to... because the Diesels can get very good mileage whereas your
454 is going to be in the single digits with your 10000lb motor home.

On a side note, there was an article a while back about a gent who
twin-turbo'd his Motorhome, which was based on the Caddy 500cid, which is
very similar to the 454.  Enough so, that it might be good reading material
for you.  I'll see if I still have the magazine.  I've been cleaning up my
garage lately.  Actually have my Lincoln inside for once.
