You are correct on the motor. They recommend the 42-50-800, they also list it as a 0.32 in some places.
I think putting a glow engine on it will require a complete new engine mount/firewall.
The mount design appears very weak even for an electric, take a look at the photos below. The whole thing is supported by the tabs into/through the firewall at the top, the same at the bottom, and the two tabs with triangle balsa support you see on either side of the battery tray opening.
