RE: 35cc-46cc ARF
The list is actually pretty long, but here's three to get this started:
Fellow club member just flew a World Models giant Zero using a G45. Pretty good combination, in my opinion. The Zero's big cowl will accommodate most larger engines.
The same guy has also flown a CMP Texan with a G38. Again, good combination and the G38 fit entirely in the cowl.
Hangar9 P-47 (1.50 sized) is another option. Another guy in my club is setting his up with a DL50 (50cc).
All three of those are great flying airplanes, too.
I suspect that you have not considered any of these because of the manufacturer's recommended engine range, but you can generally put any 35-46cc gas engine in an 80" warbird and not be too over-powered. However, and as with any ARF, make sure to carefully inspect and reinforce the firewall/fuselage junction if you do install a motor that exceeds the maker's recommended range.

If you expand your selection up to 62cc...
CMP Giant Zero (up to 62)
World Models Zero (up to 62)
H9 P47 1.50
H9 P51 1.50
Top Flight Giant P51
Skyshark P40 (up to 62, even a lightweight 80 like ZDZ)
I know there are others...but those are what came to mind right away.

RE: 35cc-46cc ARF
I've seen the Top Flite giant P-51 ARF flown with a 45cc motor and it had plenty of power, IMHO. I would bet the Skyshark P-40 would fly well with similar power. However, I think the H9 P-47 would be ideal and fly better than either of the above on a 35-46cc engine. Just my .02 cents of course.
