it would fit, but don't use an aluminum frame for motorizing. you'd get maybe another couple hundred miles out of it before you crack the frame
those bottle cage posts can be a pain in the ass too

Thank you. Do you think it would be fine to put it on there for like a weekish and go like a maximum of 2 miles until i can find/buy a better bike amd what type of material should the bike be?

ideally steel or chromoly, steel being the preferred material. stay away from aluminum and carbon fiber. titanium hasn't been extensively tested but it should in theory be a good material.
I would suggest checking yard sales and thrift stores for a good bike. bring a magnet with you
personally, I wouldn't mount an engine to that bike at all.
