Research these a little and they came with an Olds 455. Why not a factory Chevy motor ?

Reading some articles it looks like they used the Toronado drive train, to lower the over all height of the motorhome, (no drive shaft) lower center of gravity and easier step in height.

GMC motorhome
I have had a number of these come through the shop over the years. One interesting tidbit is that to replace the engine you were supposed to construct an overhead track which started above the engine entended rearward then exited out the door. you used a chain hoist and trolley to lift the engine then transport it out the door. Complete instructions were in the factory service manual including where to set the the support legs. Quite a process!!

Always wanted one!
The closest I ever got to owning one was our 1945 Flxible equipped with a '68 455 and THM400. It hauled the old bus along very well, much better than the original straight 8 Buick, except it would frequently overheat.
