I fellow club member offered to sell me one. I am not interested in glow. So, I need to get another ignition and a couple of sparkplugs. I also need to fabricate a pickup for the hub. I would make an intake manifold adapter for a walbro carb. As I quickly calculate this I see $200 pretty fast.

Are these engines good conversion cantidates? Are there bearings on the crank pin/conrod? If I do it I would prefer not to have another gas mix. Would I have to add a con rod bearing?
