Both are extremely durable engines. The 460 is a proven industrial engine used for everything from running water pumps and generators to pushing motorhomes and boats. We still have a '95 model in a one ton shop truck pushing 300,000 on the original engine. I have an '03 V10 as a daily driver, it just turned 80,000 and so far no problems. Empty the V10 gets about 20% better fuel economy, towing is close to the same, maybe a shade better, but the powerband is broader. The later 460's were pretty detuned to meet emissions requirements.
