Hey guys new to this engine stuff and have a few questions, I'm looking for a briggs vertical shaft engine 14hp/16hp local or on here ? and looking to power it up a little ?? How I'm not sure that's where I need help

And this is not for racing just a project and what would be better for the rear? Transaxle, right angle with a live axle ect....

Thanks for the help

Live axle with gearbox. Briggs single will be cheapest to get some more power. All depends on your budget.

Gearbox like a peerless 700 ?

I can find a briggs 16hp engine for $75 just depends on how much upgrades cost just looking for extra speed

What kind of 16? Single, or twin? Briggs, or other?

If you're not pulling governor, copper head gaskets, 23hp cam, light porting, and a few degrees of flywheel timing. If no governor, all of those plus better porting, 23hp heads, 2 barrel carb, billet flywheel, billet rods, and exhaust springs all the way around.
