Yes,---- BUT
A Kohler twin Kt 17 or M-18, can be converted but it takes some machining to do it. the cranks are different so either you machine/cut the vertical or use a horizontal crank and horizontal end cover.
A hole has to be drilled for a dip stick and 2 oil drain back passages in the valve box area, need to be plugged in the block just of the top of my head, as I did it 3 or so years ago.( there are other mods also in the oil pump pick up area)
For the average person with little skills/machining avability, the answer would be NO.
The blocks are diecast @ the factory the same, but machined for either horizontal or vertical applications.
There are no dumb questions!
