The plate sounds like a plus. However, I got to thinking that even with the correct shaft spacing I may also need some sort of crankshaft spacer between the engine and pulley as well. Perhaps a brass washer or otherwise. Haven't really got a good look at the project yet.
I've sort of selected this engine as the one I'd like to use, however it has the "choke-a-matic" and I currently have a manual choke system. I wonder if they have this model with a regular choke. I'd really rather not have to break down the carb or whatever else is required to disable this.
