Welcome to the forum!
What kind of problems?

Welcome Robert, Let us know what the problems are.
I am having a rough time getting the manual PTO clutch off the motor with the broken rod. Sprayed with deep creep 3 times and one Allen is boogered. $#|+

Looks nice & clean Robert, even has the desirable round fenders and what appears to be custom exhaust with a rust-free cap.
Why the engine swap? Just curious if it is for more HP or to replace a deceased engine.
Best wishes!

Looks like someone ran it low on oil. So a broken rod was the result. I am going the 7hp for now, because that is what I have.

Make sure ALL set screws are out, which should be 6 total. (2 each hole)
Clean all three top set screw holes out real good before putting a allen wrench in there.
Always use a nice allen wrench with crisp "new looking" edges so you won't strip any out.
If the set screw is already messed up, you can carefully drill it out and use an eze-out to remove it.

I'm spraying alternately pb Blaster and sea foams Deep Creep. The one outside set screw without point is boggered. maybe I will drill it out with a left hand bit if i can find one. it might have to come out without an ez-out. later this week. (maybe I should move this project to (refurbish and restore).
Thanks
