Well, If the engine is a horizontal shaft, Then you have a good start.
Then you will need to figure out what kind of clutch you want to use.
Get a Frame, Or build a frame, if you have the tools.
Wheels, Axle, Sprocket, Chain.
Set up your front steering and everything.

You could probably find a good frame on craigslist for well under 100.
Then it would just be down to find a clutch and mounting the engine.

Well, I wouldn't know about that, You need some pics of the transmission.

I would separate the engine from the snow blower completely, and put a clutch on the crankshaft. Unless the snow blower gearbox will work well for some reason.
