[A/S] B-190 - Help! Which engine??? 351 or 460
1991 Airstream B-190 Van Camper with Ford 351 or 460??
Cannot find a forum for the B-190 van so hope someone here can help
me. Am interested in purchasing Airstream van camper with a Ford 351
engine. But also found one with a 460 engine. I understand that most
came with a Ford 460.
Sources say that the 351 is not powerful enough for such a heavy
vehicle as the 190 and cannot tow well.
They also say that the 460 is a gas hog but the 351 will use as much
because it has to work harder.
Would anyone like to offer any information that might help me make a
decision as I have found 2 to choose from.
As an older female, I admit my total lack of knowledge regarding
engines and such. Wise input would be appreciated. Thank you.
