Depends on what engine and where you want to mount it. If by "20 inch bike" you mean wheel size, an in-frame installation is going to be a challenge. You could always go for a rack mount, either friction or chain drive. We need more information.

Very cool old bike! But not really a good choice for a engine kit.
You want a steel frame 26" mens mountain bike or cruiser with the traditional frame tubing layout, no weird size tubes or strange shapes, just good old steel round tube.
Look for a good quality component group with V-brakes at least. If you get a bike with regular layout and components, it's MUCH easier to get a kit installed correctly.
Especially for new builders.
