Default Can a 20hp B&S vert shaft be made Horiz shaft?

I found a good Vertical shaft with starter and all wires I need for a good price.
But can I make it fit my 1200 Workhorse?

I have a gasser eZ-Go workhorse gas engine that needs some more power for running around on the farm.

I am mainly worried about the oiling system It seems it would not get the oil to where it will be picked up properly.
Will any of these parts fit a horiz shaft? I can get the whole setup for just over $100. Is it worth it to start collecting parts like wiring and starter and switch etc for this price, then dump the block?

You could find a ninety degree gearbox, but a vertical shaft motor will not work horizontally ever, so X3 Nope.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks,You guys rock,

If a vertical shaft motor has a pressurized oil system would it work or are they still different? I know a slinger style system won't work, just curious.

I feel that my two cents may be of use here. I had a 20 HP verticle also. It just made sense that there must be someway to make this work . I have a good running FREE engine!! Well I looked into every possible scenerio. Oil delivery, 90 degree gear box, belt and pully configurations, all of it. I took someone on this websites advice and GLAD I did. Sell the motor!! Easily sold mine in two days for the price I wanted. Lot of guys want them for their lawn tractors. Look on e-bay, craigs list and the like for a horizontal shaft. The wealth of information from these guys on the this site is invaluable!! They make it easy, fun and reliable!
