When Masport updated the tiller with a 3.5 HP OHV Briggs & Stratton engine, was the frame altered to enable this OHV engine to fit?

Does someone have a picture of the frame of the updated Masport tiller with an OHV B&S engine?

Has someone repowered an older model Masport tiller with an OHV engine?
LRT,

I can not see it being an issues as the Briggs and Stratton engines are still imperial not metric. The engine mounting holes will be the same and the shaft size will be the same. All you should need to do is mount the new engine on and the old coupling will fit. cheers2
