Default Engine requirement


Hey all, I have a problem, I am in the final stages of building an F4U from GS (Giant Scale) and have to make a decision on the engine. THEY suggest a 1.20 4C and I have been looking forward to using a 3cyl. 0.90 radial 4C from Saito. When I asked the pundits at the Toledo show they all said "not enough power"--maybe!! Can anyone give me an expert opinion whether I should even try this or forget it and purchase a 1.20 4C or higher??
PS: Do radials have any advantage over their corresponding single cyl. displacements??
I am new to all of this so forgive my ignorance.
