Help Needed With Lawnmower Engine

-Hey all, not sure if this is a really stupid question or not! Just bought a ride-on mower at an auction for cheap, although the motor in it is R.S. - bought it because I have a brand new engine that owes me nothing that I can put in it. Problem is, new engine I have is a horizontal shaft, but should be vertical shaft to suit the mower. Stupid me didn't think about this until after the hammer had dropped. My question: Is there any problems with mounting the engine 90 degrees?? - obviously I would have to relocate the fuel tank so the petrol wouldn't run out! any other reasons why it wouldn't work??

Thankyou

-does anyone know if you can get such a thing as a 'shaft direction of rotation changer' (I'm pretty sure that's the technical name). I suppose basically something like a mini diff. except with 1:1 gearing?
