Ben, just be careful about the crate engines. There are horror stories on the Ford and GM forums about new crate engines being disassembled and clearances being wrong and so on. I just noticed you are in England and the American motor parts there seem to be about 2-3x more expensive than they are here. However, there are some good builders there and I bet you'd find some that warrant their work and could put together a fully dressed and tested motor for you.
As far as "different", well I know the wankel drum has been beat already with some other threads. I doubt a Porsche flat six would fit that well as they are quite wide. The Dodge V10 is doing to be expensive and it isn't small for sure, but it is different....let's see, rare and overhead cam, how about a Ford 427 Cammer?

Unique it would be. And with modern parts being made for these engines you can assemble one for "reasonable" dollars.
