Check Small Engine Wharhouse they have a lot repower options I repowerd my 782 with 18hp Vangard and it bolted right in and works great.
 
Difficulty is probably medium with that. You won't be able to run the side panels without some work. Probably cheaper to rebuild the K341 than install a new Vanguard, though.
 
I just finished up putting an older Vanguard 16 hp twin in my 1650. Like mentioned above no side panels. I bolted the engine in solid, It is a tight fit but doable. Notch in the side of the hood for the exhaust extension. Snow duty tractor so haven't run it much yet.

How was the PTO end? Bolt on or easy to adapt?
 
A few years ago I put a 25 hp Kohler v twin in my 782. Before installation I tried to put that engine in a 1650 frame but it wouldn't fit without cutting the sides of the frame.

Clutch bolted right on, not a problem. Was not the OEM clutch as I didn't get any of that with the tractor so not sure where it came from. Was B belt pulley though so probably from another cub some time.
