Robin ey28 -to big

#1
Been working towards a upgrade for my tractor. Going from my tecumseh h60 to a nice robin ey28 7.5 hp. It's to big. The muffler and air filter hit the hood. I bought a small velocity stack and a snapper header pipe that I think will bolt on.

Am I opening a can of worms with this swap? I'm starting to think I should remount the old oil burner tecumseh back on. Pros, cons? I need some direction here.

And my robin. About where I think it needs to be. It is almost touching my gas tank and the hood won't even come close to fitting over the breather or the muffler.
