Should be more than enough
How old is it and what kind of shape is it in? What you don't want in your first airplane is a point of aggravation. It can ruin your otherwise productive days at the field_Bob

It will fly the airplane if its not clapped out.The last thing you want is a fussy old worn out engine to contend with when you are trying to learn to fly as Bob points out......

Engine
I would say that it would be marginal at best. The LT40 is heavy for a trainer and will barely get off the ground in a tall grass field. I would suggest getting a Thunder Tiger in the 45 size range and then go have fun!

Give it a try!
I use an old fuel soaked, beat up, hobbyco/Tower/? Hybrid with an Enya 40 for training new pilots. Takes a bit more runway than i would like, but it works. The 45 will almost certainly do the job. Some of these old Steel and steel enyas will last decades so long as you keep running a little castor. If you still have a decent amount of compression, use it.
