G'day again gml,
Sorry to have left you hanging. How's work progressing?
I fired up another post when I first replied to yours. It shows a slant (modern) Honda fitted to one of these machines - so it can be done. I suspect it wasn't a 'throw in' job though because even though the mounting bolt pattern is probably the same, the crankshaft height and the distance (forward) that the PTO is from the mounting will be different. I'm channelling my experiences with G65 vs GX390 here. A bit of Internet research will give answers.
Personally, I'd wait for a little G40 or G50 or the like to pop up. Bolts straight in and at least looks authentic. The Modern engine sitting in that red one in the other thread looks a little out of place, me thinks. Keep stooging around Gumbay and fleatree and swap meets atc and something will pop up
