I decided just to go with another Kawasaki FH series engine. I try to stay away from fabrication when possible, since it's not profitable (for me, anyway). The only change I might have to make is to add a starter solenoid somewhere on the frame, since the replacement engine has just a bendix starter, and the original has the shift starter. Unless, of course, I'm able to swap starters. Not sure about that one. I guess I'll have to wait until I get it to see if the old starter will fit the new engine. Unless you all have an idea, of course. The old engine is FH580V-AS33-R, and the replacement will be FH580V-ES20-S. You think the original shift starter will fit the new engine?
