I have never heard of a steel 460 crank, only the 429 medium duty trucks had a factory steel crank as far as I know of. As for rods, I doubt it, the factory rods can get you to 550-600 HP, I would suspect that Ford knows the passanger/light-truck rods are quite fine for any RV use. I would bet that RV or pickup-truck, its all the same and all interchangable.

I believe the only difference between pickup/van 460s and F53 Motorhome 460s is a double row, roller, timing chain in the F53 motor.

If you look at rebuild kits, They state the intake gaskets are different between the two. Maybe different intake? My 93 F250 had a stock double roller timing set. The lower end I can put money on is the same as truck and van motors.
