So here's what I have so far. I took the engine plate out of a parts 1811 I have sitting here and put it in the 1282 chassis, the Drive coupler off the original 1282 engine bolted right on so I set the engine in to take a look. The drive shaft appears to be about an inch to long and it had a real slight misalignment but I put a washer under the back of the engine to raise it up and it looks much better. I test fit the side cover and it looks like I will have to run an electric fuel pump because the mechanical pump hits the side cover.
