Default 1/3 sopwith pup conversion?

Guys I may be crazy but I picked up a HUGE framed up Balsa USA sopwith pup ! I am going to have to back shelf it probably for awhile..but I wondered what conversion motors out there you guys might suggest ? Its such a bummer that they aren't putting 5 cylinder radials in any of the weadeaters out there !!!! Anyhow, I am reading a lot of info that says the g62 is a nice motor for the plane.. I would love to hear any ideas you might have. I had even wondered aloud to my buddy that maybe there was an ideal belt or gear driven system out there to gear down a smaller motor to swing a big prop ... It sounds like most of those rigs are pricey or have some issues...
