How would I use a lawnmower engine to power a go cart?

Mr.Steven asked:
I’ve got a frame and an old push style lawn mower I’m about to rebuild. I’ts pretty weak (5.5 hp briggs) but I don’t have much of a budget. The biggest dilema is getting the power to the rear wheels with the vertical shaft. I was thinking chain driven, little differential if they made them, rack and pinion gears, or maybe some kind of front engine with a driveshaft thing. I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I’m stumped, any ideas?
