Default Engine for Piper cub

Hi all,
I've started the build on a BalsaUSA 1/4 scale Piper cub. I'm still trying to decide what engine to use. I pretty much want to use a gas engine. Who out there have used a gas engine on this model? Could you tell me the brand of the engine, how well it pulls the cub, and how much modification it took to fit it to the airframe. The ideal engine for me would be gas with little modification to the airframe and completely covered by the cowl with only vent holes in the bottom for cooling air flow.

Cheers,

Dan
