The 460 I had was SOB and was on a John Deer chassis despite all the problems I had it for 8 years. Cracked manifolds.
If the 460 has headers or Banks system I would consider buying if that's your intent as far as the chassis ??? I would not know what to tell you only that the Fords with the V-10 that I have had, had a problem carrying the Newmar coach because of weight.
Needed leaf springs added on a 98 KS and I added a air bag system on 99 MA coach I had.

I think that is a V10 6.8L . No 460 in 1999

Last year for production of the 460 was 1997 but it is possible to have a 1999 coach with a 1997 chassis.

Seems to happen to me more so these days, what I said about Ford V-10's still applies.
