Default Top Flite P-40 Build

I just picked up a Top Flite P-40 gold edition. I won't be starting it for a while but I was thinking about putting a Saito 180 in it. Mainly because I have one just sitting here. Has anyone used this combo or should I look for something smaller. Physically, I don't think there is much size difference in a 120 and the 180. I will do some research to be sure. Any other build tips would be appreciated.

A quick search of Horizon's site says it's only 1 oz more than the 150 and just under 10 ozs heavier than the 125. I haven't built a kit in awhile so I still look for some input.
Thanks

The 1.80-size engine would be considered MUCH too large for the model. A 1.20-size four-stroke engine is the largest recommended for the model.
