I don't think anyone on here has done a successful job at a Predator install. All kinds of stuff can be done if you are a capable individual.
Personally I don't recommend it. Kohler K series are the most durable and subsequently the most economical engine to run. If you can rebuild it yourself, the cost is about the same as a new Predator motor (if I remember the price of them correctly). Or, you can find a used motor usually in the $200 range.
I don't understand what you mean by

If you have a charging system issue, just fix it. The charging system is simple. Cheaper than a Predator, and a whole lot less hassle.
