It seems to me someone had an article with good photos and brushless
motor recommendation to convert the Great Planes Lancair EP from the
stock brushed design to a out-runner brushless.  I searched the forums
and just can't find it.

Can anyone help?

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.
