Default Balsa USA Bristol M1 conversion to electric - how to?

I have a very nice Balsa USA Bristol M1 that was flown with a 46fx glow engine. For the past 8-9 years its been hanging in my hangar and now I want to fly it again with an electric motor. This will be my first electric airplane and I need some advice regarding which motor I should consider along with the ESC and the battery packs to consider. All the servos in this plane are std futaba 148 servos and I reckon the plane with engine weighs not more than 6 lbs.

thanks in advance.
