The engine is in fact a Tecumseh unit. The newer ones aren't that bad as the older versions.
As far as disassembling the clutch set up on a SC is concerned I haven't gotten to that point as mine is fine so I can't really offer much help in that area.
The 5 HP Briggs engine will do rather nicely I'd say.
Cheers,
