vertical and horizontal cast B&S block

Just curious if anyone has ever seen a 5hp B&S flathead cast with both vert / horizontal motor mounts. On YT there is a video of a 60's brush mower called an Allen Champion that uses one and it got my attention and was unaware such a creature existed.
 
Only one I ever saw was on Paul White's sprint kart many years ago at Columbiana Speedway.

If your talking about 5hp briggs flathead.
 
That's not it. That's a regular briggs with the mounting to the right instead of down.

What Paul had was actually laydown or mounted on it's side.

yes this is what i watched . The horizontal motormount is facing the fuel tank . Sooooo what would tech guy say??
 
Not being able to find a flathead briggs like I think I remember Paul having on his kart it may have just been mounted differently.

Our tech person said so what it's a 5hp briggs flathead and if that's the way they want to mount it so be it.
