I don't think it would work for you, it's small and you'd have no-where to mount a motor, it's not an "off the shelf" solution.

My suggestions were all aimed at getting it up and running as quickly as possible with the least cost and the best overall machining capacity.
Buy a spindle that fits where the old quill went and live with the speeds/torque/tool capacity you get but don't throw away the old bits, they will enhance the resale value,
