Mark,
There are some considering the 13b, (such as myself) however the stumbling
block  is the 300 lb limit on the motor (up front) weight.

Bill,
An old friend of mine (a mechanical engineer) has been developing the engine
of
your dreams (and his, and mine) for the last 25 yrs -3,000 rpm (max),
rotary (about 12"x 12" ) gives 85 hp (approx) with an 18" x18" giving 200hp.
This is on paper and is in the throws of getting built, I ring him every
week to keep
him motivated, he won't outsourse the making of the parts for fear of
someone
finding out his secrets - apparantly it's very simple.

Paul,
He did however say it needed valves - can't win them all !!
