SEW 318 Honda Conversion

So I called SEW today to inquire about a 24HP Honda conversion for a 318. They tell me they no longer sell that kit. So can anyone here tell me what needs to be made and supply some sketches? The mount looks easy. I know there is a plate for the front and a bushing. Then the piece for the drive shaft, and the muffler and heat shield + wiring. Anything else? Anyone know the source of the basic muffler they used?

Keep in mind that the Kohler kit has the exhaust coming out the front grill.
That killed it for me.

I bought a rebuild Onan long block from the guy who advertises on eBay:
don't like the Kohler kit with the exhaust to the front;
others thought Briggs & Stratton was a typical small engine manufacturer;
Honda kit was no longer available.

Sorting through electrical problems, as soon as I am done with that I will report back on my findings.

Just the engine sitting in the tractor running is so sweet.......
