The answer will depend on a number of things.

Do you want to fly "scale" or do you want to have crazy power?
Planning on using a 4-blade scale prop or will a 2-blader work for you?

At first blush, something in the 400 - 500 watt range like an e-flite power 10 would work (or a cheaper equivalent at HobbyKing).

Also - why does this post look identical to this post?

DamoRC is spot on!

My rule for a warbird is 200+ watts per pound.

Select a suitably large dia prop or multiblade prop and look for a motor of the right power range to drive it.

A large dia prop will require a lower Kv Motor of course.

Have fun!
