Even if you can attach a prop to the engine and keep it on, it still won't work. Car engines are ported for much higher RPM, which means they make jack squat for power at lower RPM. With the size prop you'll need to fly your plane properly, you'll be so down on power the plane may not even fly at all. An aircraft glow engine in this size is not expensive, so get what you really need.
