No but I think a good machinist could make a proper spacer to make up the difference and you could run it with no issues provided it was made correctly and the keyway was used and cut in the spacer. I used an old cut down 1/2" craftsman socket to run a clutch outboard on a short shaft briggs and it still works, that's how I know a well made piece could do the job. Not ideal but a TAV would bolt right on I would think. Worth a try, could start a trend amongst the briggs fans with Rupps and piss off the purists at the same time. A win-win.
I would like to keep the Rupp all original but finding H35 engine parts especially
the 33085 crankshaft proving to be a real challenge. I have even contacted certified parts Corp with no luck. There is also the challenge of boring the block out or having it sleeved.
My next thought is a Honda GC 160 series engine. At least the cylinder is vertical like the Tecumseh. It may fit but would have to be stripped down to work.
Or a NOS Briggs Flathead raptor engine if I could find one.

I don't know if its doable or not, but its got an extended crank....keyway might be too short though. still gotta come up with solutions for the carb angle an all that for a rupp.
