so it is an f53 chassis

 

Yes it was an F53 chassis,

 

Update, got it all in.

Ended up having to use the truck Oil pan, and pickup tube, oil filter housing, accessories, driverside valve cover, and engine wiring harness.

It runs great, but my advise to anyone thinking about a van/motorhome to pickup swap would be to try to find an engine out of a similarly equipped truck to avoid all the swapping over of parts.

But it's all done so if anyone has questions about motorhome 460's I'd be happy to answer them

 

I own a 1992 Fleetwood Pace Arrow(class A) RV. Just recently the engine would not turn over. I drive it about every other month, so the RV was sitting for about a couple of months. I had a mechanic(35yrs. experience) look at it and it check the fuel pump(inside the gas tank) and it was NOT running.When he hooked up a direct hot wire to the pump, it was working...I replaced the fuel filter a week before the problems and the mechanic checked the fuel injectors and there was no fuel going to the injectors. He put ether in the intake, and the engine temporary started and died, so he determined it was not the ingitation module. So he determined it was the ECM computer. I found a company in Houston who could rebuild the computer and I shipped it off. They called me and said the ECM had already been rebuilt and could not be done again. I found out that the previous owner took it in for the recall #94b37 in 1994, so that might be the time it was rebuilt. So the Houston company found me another ECM with the correct numbers and it was shipped out. Installed the ECM...same problem, it will not start. I went to the Ford dealer and they said they could program the ECM I just bought, but they need the old ECM to get info off of it. Well, the company in Houston, AUTO AND HEAVY DUTY COMPUTER SUPPLY does NOT answer their phone nor do the return emails messages. When I bought the new ECM, I requested that they return the old ECM and I would pay shipping. So....the problem I have...how do I get the new ECM programmed with the correct settings. Ford says they need the old ECM to program the new ECM...and if this Houston company does not return my old ECM, I am in trouble...any suggestions?...I am leaving on a family trip in 10 days, so I need HELP right away. Here are the stats on my RV:

1992 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 33ft.
ECM # F29F-12A650-ANA
Ford 460 7.5L
4 Speed Automatic Overdrive Transmission

 

First off the Ford dealer dose not know what they are talking about. You can NOT reprogram an 1992 Computer. It has a ROM in it with the program and you can not reprogram an ROM. The newer ones in the F53 RV can but they would be a 1999 and newer.

That was the bad news and now the good news.
I do not think your mechanic was right. With your mechanic says your unit was doing it is very seldom the computer.
You need to check out the rest of the fuel system to find out for sure.
You do not need the computer installed for the fuel system tests.
You first need to find the EEC Self-Test plug, not for sure where it is located on your unit but on a 1994 it is inside the dog house on the drivers side and on the side of the dog house. Photos of the location on a 1994 F53 below along with a diagram of a EEC Self-Test plug.

You need to ground pin #6 of the EEC Self-Test plug to a good ground and turn on the key. Do you hear the fuel pump running all the time now?
If not try resetting the Inertia fuel shut off switch, location should be under the steering column. You reset it by pushing down on the button on top. If they still do not run check for power with a test light (not a meter) at the Inertia fuel shut off switch.
If no power the check the fuel pump relay and see if it clicks when you ground the EEC Self-Test plug with the key on. Do not just turn the key on and off as the Power relay will click also and you will not hear the fuel pump relay. If the fuel pump relay does not click replace it. If it does click then you have a bad fuse, fuse link or wire.
