Hello all , I am new to the site and would appreciate any info I can get . I have an Oliver 1850 with the Perkins 354 diesel . I am looking to add some horsepower and want to know thoughts and ideas . I have seen all the discussions and they always end up discussing transplanting a Cummins . That isn’t an option because I have to maintain a stock appearing block and components , can’t add turbo because not originally equipped . Ideally would like to gain 50 more ponies but know that would probably be stretching it . Thanks for any advice
 
Welcome.
Since you're in a stock appearing class. You are mostly limited to internal modifications. That's what makes the stock appearing class expensive.
Are you RPM limited also?
 
South west pa

Southwestern Pa. is a great place to be located, although I'm slightly biased. I'm up near Indiana Pa.

I think that has a CAV injection pump on it, right? ...and the Perkins is a 6-354?
