For me things need to be very simple or it won't get done.

In my case the road legal vehicle I have as a shell does not have a transmission, clutch, fuel tank, radiator or most any normal gasoline or diesel components.

This means that yes, ideally I have the whole drop in replacement so I can just mount, drop and hookup.

If I get the briggs model, there are a variety of differences between it and the roadgoing motor, perhaps better, perhaps not.

But I know that I do not want to be fabbing adapter plates, motor mounts, fuel tank mounts, etc when a nearly identical foreign vehicle already has those parts ready to mount.
