Whatever engine you use needs to be short enough to fit in the engine bay. It also needs a govenor, a stardard car engine will not work properly, it need s a govenor to maintain speed under vairous loads. The splined shaft on the pump has a mating coupler that slides over it connected to the fly wheel with two universal joints. Thats how they connected the pump to the engine. It allows for slight mis-alignment.
