Norm,
The owner only wants it to use it to cut grass so it doesn't matter if it isn't correct from a restoration point of view. It can have another engine as long as it fits the base. This may be a better option in light of the crank being bent.
I've got it to run a few times and in its present condition it even leaves the Greenfield ride on for dead in the rough. Not to mention a four stroker!
It just would be handy if it could produce a spark on every revolution...
