I just bought an older F250 with a 460 in it. The heads are off to replace a blown head gasket. I'm going to be towing a fairly heavy load with a 3000lb trailer with a 6000lb vehicle on it, as well as a camper.

Out here is Washington, we do get to go to far on flat ground, other than around town, we heading up mountain passes.

This is a tow pig for my wheeling truck and we are going to put a camper on it since they won't let me tow my pop up camper behind by car trailer All of our wheeling areas also involve substantial elevation changes - 3-4,000 feet so I need to be able to tow, climb and keep highway speed over mountain passes.

I figure that while the enging is partly apparently, some simple mods might be appropriate, but what?

I've heard about dove heads and can pick up a bare one on ebay pretty cheap if it's worthwhile.

I also found an RV cam on Ebay.

I saw a high compression heads, C8VE???

What can you guys tell me about a few simple and useful upgrades to this specific motor that will meet my driving needs and still maintain some reliability and decent economy.
