Default How many horsepower do I need?

I have a CC Carryall 2 that I am rebuilding - basically came to me in several piles....

The stock motor in it is blown. I want to eventually put a big block in the cart, but want to just get it going for now. Short term, I have a running briggs engine sitting around I could use at minimal cost if it would work. But it is only 10 hp - would that be enough for a stock cart, no lift, bigger wheels, etc? This would just be a utility cart - back and forth to the barn - no off roading, no racing, no heavy loads.

Physical fit works ok in the cart. Most of the fab work will eventually carry over to the big block when I upgrade. But I don't want to put the engine in there if it won't move it...

Second, my driven clutch is missing. Can I use one from a taylor dane cart (I have one) as long as the shafts and belts are the same size?

Thanks!
