I think that is a Travco L'Espirit. It is, thanks! If a 440 physically will fit in you chassis, I'd suggest a V10 as one more option. Factory fuel injection, lots of torque, overdrive transmission and all the factory reliability you would want in an RV.

This may be obvious, but not touched directly on so far, the 360 is the better choice for a stroker in your application, then any bored stroked 318/340 combination, with the 360 beefier crank.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Grizzly, your mention of the v10 reminded me-they have a 3.88 stroke from the factory. Makes me feel better about the stroker. Others have questioned this as well citing rod/stroke ratio and short piston skirts as causes, but really, it's not an issue. Plenty of OEM engines out there with what would be considered worse specs by those ill informed that last a long time.
