You might want to add up the cost of converting your engine versus buying a new one. You'll need a prop adapter, new muffler, and probably some way to mount the engine. Your all in cost probably won't be far off from the cheaper 25cc-30cc engines on the market that are built for RC. And most of those will be lighter than your wacker engine and ported to make more power too.
