Default I have no clue on how to select a Lipo battery for a particular setup, please help.

So as the title says, I do not know how to select a battery for the setup. I tried to do research and was not able to find what I was looking for. I am trying to set up an upgrade motor/esc/battery for an RC plane. I am looking to use a NTM Prop Drive Series 35-36A 1400Kv / 550W with a Hobby King 60A ESC 4A UBEC for my Tower Hobbies brand P-51 Mustang. A while back I nosed the Mustang and wrecked the motor mount. I flew a lot more since the wreck and consider myself an OK pilot. I own several planes and fly them well, so I think I am up to the task for the upgrade for my wrecked plane.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

E Clc (propeller) is a likely way to investigate with.
You will need
weight, wing area, and propeller type/size
The motor specs KV etc.
The ESC current and voltage ratings
Basically, this tells you what the ~ behavior should be.
