The difference was the chassis.

The 454 motor was used in the P30 chassis that was under the 20 foot to 34.5 foot MH. It was even extended to the 360.

When Airstream designed the 37 foot or 370 they used a Gillig bus chassis, this came with the Ford 460 power plant. It is as far as I know the only classic MH that has the 460.

On the Box style MH, there seems to be a mix of chassis so I cannot give you any idea of the GM vs Ford breakdown.
