- The ACE 27.1 is 28'8" long and has a 178" wheelbase on the F Series Super Duty Chassis, and pushes 362 HP with the V-10, 3 Valve engine

So the Ace is 3' longer, but has a shorter wheelbase.
And, the ACE pushes more horsepower, but has less towing capacity (due to overall weight)

for whatever that info is worth...
The F-53 chassis isn't really an "F Series Super Duty" chassis as the F Series Super Duties are pickup trucks and the F-53 is more of a larger commercial truck chassis (think "box truck" and UPS or Fedex truck).
