Default Brushless Jenny

Okay, well have mostly completed my Sig Jenny with some added modifications such as reinforcing the bottom and top wings, reinforcing the horizontal stab and vertical stab, and adding some control linkage tubes to keep the wires straight. All in all I am extremely pleased with the way she has turned out, but that stock 180 motor is horendously underpowered. With that being said it has to be brushless! What size motor should I use and ESC? I'm using a 7.4V 1200mAH lipo. I am new to the brushless motor deal, but not flying so I need some guidence on a good motor/esc combo for my jenny that will yield a good performing little plane. Also will there be any other modifications I might need to make to my jen in order to fit the motor or will it bolt directly to the firewall? I would like to get her up and going this weekend so any help would be great! Thanks!
