I talked to these folks for some time, its a very nice van and they are VERY nice people. I would have bought it but a newer one came up and that is what we wanted. But it is poven good running machine. I talked to them while they was on the road in it traveling... If your looking for a reliable 190 this one is it- at a good value.

B190 for sale Renton Wa
It is the second one I have seen with a 351, I feel if your not towing a house it is a viable way to get some better mileage. nothin wrong with the 351 for power, the torque is not like the 460 but the gas consumption could be less. It is an OD tranny... On the upside if you ever had to pull the motor, the 351 would give birth a little easier LOL!Blair wrote:i didn't know these vehicles were available with the smaller engine.

Actually we talked about that a while back and noticed the 460 usually gets better mileage in these, probably because it doesn't have to work as hard.Denco wrote:It is the second one I have seen with a 351, I feel if your not towing a house it is a viable way to get some better mileage. nothin wrong with the 351 for power, the torque is not like the 460 but the gas consumption could be less.
