Answer
You are going to have to take a couple of measurements.  Measure the crankshaft output lenght and diameter.  Once you have the measurement go to this link:

The snowblower engines start on page 20.  The engine mounting bolt hole should be the same as your old enigne.  Just need to match up the crackshaft output measurements.

Looking at the old engine parts lists I only found one crankshaft.  This means the crankshaft is probably a common/OEM standard, which is good.  I'm betting the engine on page 20 will fit your blower but measure the crankshaft output to make sure.
