Is this a stock Briggs Raptor engine?
The 5HP Briggs is an excellent choice on minibikes and is used on many. That is a tidy looking Briggs with low hours, but I don't believe it is considered a raptor. That is a stock water-pump motor, but most, if not all raptor parts and aftermarket parts would fit that engine.
Now, since that is a water-pump unit, there is a high chance that the output shaft is not usable for a clutch, so a different crank may be needed.
That engine looks to be an early 2000 model or late 90s. :thumbsup:

Lucky, you'll be able to build a nice 5hp Briggs minibike engine with this block. This engine appears to be a 130202 medium duty block. Cranks will run anywhere from 15 bucks to 75 on eBay. Much more new. You'll have to learn about part numbers and look up systems on vendor sites like OldMiniBikes Warehouse or Jack's Small Engines. Something you and your dad should do together. Since this engine is a pump engine, you'll have to find a corresponding engine part number for a crank that is long enough on the PTO side (clutch side).
Mixing engine parts can get tricky. If you make a mistake, you are usually stuck with the part. Be careful.

It's a 135202 engine. The carburetor and choke setups are different than the more desirable 130202. As previously stated, the crankshaft will need to be replaced.
This is not a good choice for a bike or kart build of any type, considering the other engines that are out there, only because of what you want to do with it. Otherwise, it is a solid engine. I rebuilt one at my son's house over Thanksgiving for his rototiller, so that's why I was quick on the model number.
I don't know if you're interested, but I have an otherwise very good running GC-160 which needs a fuel tank and a recoil starter. (about $35 worth of stuff) (the one on the right) I will never use it. Pay shipping and it's yours.
