5.0L V8 = 410 lb-ft at 4,250 RPM = 332 HP.

That beats the V10’s maximum of 305 HP at same 4,250 RPM.

The V10 only produces 377 lb-ft at 4,250 RPM.

If Ford upgraded 5.0L V8 to iron block for durability, I could see it making a nice fuel efficient option for lighter E-350 motorhomes; provided it fits under doghouse.
I'd seriously consider an engine swap but uneducated on motor mount design/location, transmission match, drive shaft length and doghouse.
