Topic: what can i safely take off engine

[scoarch]

Hi all.
 i have a brand new intec 15.5 hp engine.
when i set it in my chassis  there is no room any were.
 there is a lot of bulky plastic on this engine, like the huge aircleaner assembly.
now what i was wondering is what can i remove from the engine to make it smaller?

What rules are you building to???? They may not allow removal of certain components.

Well,  after doing some research  i found out all i can modify externally is exhaust and air filter.

Man is there a big piece of plastic on this thing  \

at least i can modify the hood to fit the frame

If you look at some of the racing mower builds, you can see what racers are doing to make a custom airfilter, which may work with your application.
