I'm going to do a 6.0 PSD engine swap!!!
It's been about a year and a half since I sold my 2005 E450 that I bought new. I miss my van. Since then, I bought a 1997 Ford E350 Airstream B190. I like it because it reminds me of the 2005 that ...

To the OP great idea and project, I'm subscribed! I've always had interest in a Class B but never had a chance to check one out in person. I have had a E350 (V10) that I really liked and would have kept it but I need 4 wheel drive. I pulled my TT about 10,000 miles behind V10's and a few thousands behind the 7.4L's but my current TV with the 6.0L is better for power and efficiency. I completely went through my original Excursion V10 (4.30 gear) and was able to get a best mpg of 16 mpg empty and around 7-8 mpg's pulling the TT in signature. This Excursion with the 6.0L that I also went all the way through engine and did some upgrades and can get 21-23 mpg empty but haven't towed the TT long distance yet but pulled a steel (heavy) auto trailer with my Acura and got 14 mpg before the work/updates.
As for rebuilding if you choose to not do it yourself here are a few places I looked at when I contemplated mines. For the price of getting head work if they are out of spec or cracked plus the bulletproofing the existing engine getting one of these isn't a big increase in price:
