Sounds like loss of power and a pain in the ass. With out looking at one I would think the ujoint would have to be at a 90 . I'd say dont waste your time get a horizontal and be done.

I would be using 4 u joint not two at a 90 i was thinking it would be a loss of power I have a old 15 briggs on it now but i only go about 5 mph i guy i know has a 22 vert. Do you think i could get more out of a new 16 durmax than the old 1969 15hp briggs. i would like 12 to 15 mph

Horizontal for LT

Vertical for ProDrive

You'd lose a lot of power running 4 u joints

Just a bad idea IMO.

Do it right the first time and get a horizontal.
