Engine and T.Q. selection

[Matra V12]

I am new to this forum and to go karts.
Can anyone direct me to a list or tables of engines specs that have the correct output shaft specifications (diameter, lenght, key, tapered or straight...) to match 10~15 HP torque converters?

Anything over 8hp with a 1" output shaft is pretty much what you will be looking for. A torque converter for an engine that size would be a comet 40 series

Oh... Welcome

Thanks for your reply.
I had previously bought an almost new Tecumseh engine from a broken snowblower, but dismantling the snowblower, I discovered that it had two output shafts, and the main one has only 1" long machined and keyed straight shaft (SnowKing engine picture). I don't think that will work.

Looking at these pictures, to fit a 40 series TQ, which of these shafts will work?

the first one..

straight keyed shaft (no taper, no step down) 1" diameter is what you want..
