These had an optional 8hp Briggs, so theoretically the 7hp (if flathead) should be able to fit w/o the nice cutout in the rear body. By far, most came with the JLO L230. I've never seen an original 4-stroke version in person, but I do have a few photos from original brochure for the 4-stroke. Not sure what all is different on 4-stroke except engine frame and clutch. You have your work cut out for you so good luck.
There were at least a couple of good dealers for these in TX, so there should be a few still scattered around. My buddy got a beauty out of Waco 3-4 years ago. Original survivor... 30+ years in indoor storage.

wildman thanks a bunch for posting the diagram and part breakdown definitely came in handy on front axle as it gave me confidence to start beating on that axle as it had enough rust built up it looked liked the bolt was glassed on directly. kinda strange that this has the 4 9/16" hole in the body and the steering cup of the fork is nearly same size so it doesnt seem to need that shim just too bad someone isnt re-popping some parts as i will have to make some bar clamps also my bars are connected with no gap between for the grips as pictured again thanks and i am sure i will have more question coming as i dig into this thing
