How tall is a totally stock Predator - 212cc Engine?

#1
How tall does a Predator - 212cc 6 1/2HP Engine measure in at the highest part? I was thinking of using a totally stock one in my 1971-1972 Steens Taco - Super Trail 100 Mini Bike if there is room to do so. I have 13 1/16" of distance from the engine mounting plate to the bottom of the top frame rails to work with. Can someone please help me out with a measuement?

I know mine had a Greyhound in it when I got it and it was according to the previous owner a real trick to get the fuel tank cap off. I've got just a hair under 14 in and it just barely fit in there and I'm pretty sure that's a clone of the predator or vice versa...
I would be surprised if you didn't take the fuel tank off and put it somewhere else and the exhaust shield off that it wouldn't fit...
Mine wouldn't fit it was a 6 horsepower Briggs and Stratton and the tank didn't fit by a long shot... but without the tank and without the exhaust shield there is a ton of room...
