No sir. Different mounting plate, different crankshaft height, and different prop.

Shaft height is the same, and I believe the mounting holes are the same also..

My apologies! I misspoke. I had just been talking with a local guy a about swapping a blown 23 Briggs for a new Predator v twin. I guess my brain defaulted to the 23 instead of actually paying attention and reading 27 Kohler. I believe shaft height ist he same but not 100% on the mounting plate.
