You forgot to post the cypher key. I'm unfamiliar with the code you are using.

Why not just start off with a 23? Weight will be pretty close

yep will work. I swapped an 18hp briggs to a 24 Honda. Bolted right up to the mini frame. Just FYI the 14 mini has a lower gear reduction than a factory 23 mini. Also the 3/4 threaded shaft limits you to propeller choices. I had to have my prop machined to fit 3/4 shaft.

Depends on if you re-gear or not.
