long haul

Ok here's the deal. I'm flying out Tuesday to go to Michigan to look at a used ambulance. It is a 1987 E350 with 38,000 miles on it. It has a 460 CID carburated motor in it. Does anyone know of any common problems with these motors that i should look for? Just looking at pics of the ambulance looks like its in great shape. I had them go ahead and change all the belts and hoses before I go get it. Will be driving it back from Michigan to Louisiana if we decide to get it. And yes I know we will be paying dearly for fuel lol. Thanks in advance.
