1) Will a vertical small engine, for example a mower engine, work ok with the shaft horizontal? In other words, the engine is basically now tilted on it's side from it's usual position?

If not that's ok:

2) What are some decent brands of small engines? i'm basically wanting/needing about 5-10 hp, but would like to know about decent brands in general for now.

a) i'm basically concerned where they are made, money is not really a top priority here. If it's made in china or s.e. asian countries, then i would shy away from it---unless you can recommend a decent brand---if such exists? Japan is ok, but for this project, i would prefer made in USA or at least N. america (but not mexico).

3) How would i go about attaching a gilmer type pulley to the shaft?
