Default 5lb. 3D Airplane Conversion Help?

I have been flying foamies for about a year. I would like to convert one of my gas 3D planes to electric. I built a take-off on the Cobra. It has a 48" wing with a built up fuse. The weight with a YS63 was right at 5lbs.

Could anyone tell me what combination would give me approximately the same performance in an electric set up? What size motor, batteries, ESC, prop etc. I was told it would run me about $700 to make the conversion. Could I do it for less?

Thanks for any help.
