Just about anything that'll put 100-200 watts into the same-diameter prop 
should work fine.  There's a slew of outrunners that go into the same 
planes as a speed 400, your problem there is too many choices, not too 
few.

I'd suggest you start thumbing through the magazines at your LHS, looking 
for construction articles.  Find one (or several!) that have motor mounts 
you think you can adapt, and cook up your own conversion.
