14 and 16 are identical engines, they are both 479cc, but the 14 has a bit smaller carb and some exhaust inserts that choke it down a bit. You could get an 18hp carb for it and install a cam and rev kit, it'll run really good then. Those mods will make a night and day difference in that engine. I've done it and man what a difference.

If you just want a "new" engine, the 23 is what you want. It's not too much bigger in physical dimensions than the 14/16. If you have a little wiggle room inside the engine compartment then it might work. If it's really tight in there you might have trouble getting it to fit. The 23 has way more torque than a stock 16, it would def suit your needs. Now with a cam, rev kit, and mikuni carb? Monster power!
