Hey guys, my names Carl, and I recently purchased a 1991 airstream b-190. It’s been my little log cabin on wheels. I love it, it’s on the eco online 250 chassis and has 2wd, automatic, 351 5.8 efi. There’s a guy on YouTube if you look up lifted airstream b-190. He’s got the ‘97 with the v10 and the 92-?? Lift kit and 4x4. I looked up this outfitter and they said tough shit you got a 91 and we only do 92’s and newer... so, my friend tells me I need to put a 7.3 power stroke in it... I start thinking about engine swaps and how I know NOTHING about them... What is the biggest, nicest engine I could and SHOULD get. I want serious power... mid- upper spending limit... I live in this thing, so it should be nice... lol. Someone plleeeeease tell me what I would need to get carwise to pull everything at once that I need: I want lots of power, I want 4x4 , I want to lift it 6”, I want to make a badass motorcycle carrier for the front, and I wanna put cragars on it and cover it in solar panels and super black paint or flat primer green like army green. Whatever you guys can do to help me I appreciate sooooo much 🙁
well this is your first rodeo don't make it your last take care of it and don't mess around with all that stuff you'll be sorry.you get it old airstream like that be happy it's still runs generally start falling apart at that age I would personally baby it I wouldn't put a ton of money into it you could create an endless money pet
I would listen to Scotty. You're talking about funneling serious money into that thing. It wouldn't be worth it in my honest opinion. Heck, Airstreams are unique enough already. Especially one that runs well.
