Default ENGINE SIZE ?

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,
I am returning to this hobby after 15 years being away.I got a great deal on some used equipment from a guy I used to work with.My question is this:Part of this package is a goldbergh aniversary addition j3 cub wich is half built.The engine he bought for this plane is a saito 46. four stroke.(still in the box never ran).If I build this into a clipped wing cub would this be enogh engine for this plane.I bought a sig kadet mark 2 for my step son this christmas and I was thinking that if this engine isnt enough for the cub I would put into the kadet.I know that allot of you guys out there would say why did you buy a kadet mark 2 instead of a lt40.the reason is this.M first airplane (back in 1982)was A sig kadet mark2.That plane(and my dad) taught me how to read a ruler,follow directions,use a saw & most of all patience.Something(imho)kids dont know nowadays. Thank you.
