Did anyone notice that this is an OHV engine? In most cases, the vertical to horizontal conversion is carried out on B&S flathead engines; The problem is, we see all these youtube vids of guys converting them but, we never see what the engine is doing 6 months later so, basically, we don't know if it's truly successful...
However, with this engine, it's almost a certainty that it won't work (unless someone can prove me wrong); with a flathead engine, the oil only needs to go as high as the tappets (lifters) but, with this engine, the oil needs to go as far as the rockers located at the top of the engine, once converted... even Hondas aren't that good, that's why their piston is at an angle...
The only suggestion I can offer is to rotate the engine on the opposite axis; that is, instead of standing the engine up, roll it on its side; the shaft will end up horizontal but, the piston will also remain horizontal, much like a Honda; depending on the design of the head & valve config, this may not even work... You would also need to rework the intake manifold but, you would've had to do that anyway...
We're a pretty knowledgable bunch but, IMO, for the most part, this is out of our realm of expertise; I'm not saying it can't be done, just that most of us have never attempted it successfully...
