Default Comparing gas to glow

How does one size a gas engine to a plane when only glow engine sizes are recommended. Example : a 160 sized glow engine is recommended but what size gas could be used. A friend told me that if you multiplied the cc' s of a gas engine times 3, that would be the comparable size glow engine that it could be used. Is this a fairly accurate way of comparing the two different engines ?
