Any opinions on an oliver? was thinking 1750 rgat way I get the bigger rear end amd 3 spd hyraulshift. would a 1650 be a better selection for this even though they have a smaller rear end? I do believe they have a little faster rear end could be wrong on this. looking to run a VE pump 12 V 5.9 cummins in this. any thought?

Has anyone tried a 466 ve pump on a 5.9 Cummins? I know they are a different style and would require some custom work including injection lines and possibly intake manifold.

Just curious, sorry for the derail.
