Richard, the TopFlite P51 that you own is originally sized to fly on a 38cc motor or a US Engines 40cc. You can fit a larger motor in but will require quite a bit of modifying at the front end and wing strengthening.

Bigger engine does not mean flown faster/harder, the modern petrol motors are lighter and probably less vibration than the old industrial units-its how the throttle and any energy generated is used...
