I'm building a 1/5 pica cessna 182 and I would like to put a gas engine in it. Any thoughts guys?

I am not going to tell you which gas engine to use on this airplane, but I will tell you that mine was powered by a ST 2000, and it was the perfect engine for it, I also mounted floats and flew it off water, this engine is awsome, the airplane balanced perfectly with it, it had a ready to fly weight of 15 lbs. it was all decked out, with full iterior, flaps, lights, the works, flew like a big bird should, I used a 16x6 wood prop, so with something that would give you about that much power, a four stroker in the 1.2 or 1.5 range would be also perfect, a gasoline engine would require major butchering of the cowling, but I don't know how pure your scale genes are.
