Has anyone purchased this engine, and would this be a good route to go for my 65' Schwinn Typhoon?

Saw the 49cc version on a beach cruiser,looked good,owner said it ran good.

It inspired me to paint my engine black also...

Just an update three years later. Bike runs great 1,000+ miles, couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
