Forget the rotary, they might make some hp but they lack low end grunt. And the reason say a 10 second N/A type-1 engine is a pain to drive is because to make that kind of hp the need a super high lift cam, monster carbs, giant exhaust, and the heads ( Superflow and such). Now the down side of all of those parts, you sacrifice low end with the carbs, exhaust and the cam. The problem with the cam is that it doesn't "come on" until say 3500-4000 rpm. Now with these after market high-po heads they dont have the cooling fins like say a stock 041 head. Type-1 are mainly a peaky and violent engine compared to a type-4. What do you want from an engine? What is going to be it's purpose? And I think turbo-charging a type-1 or type-4 would be your best bet, but if you lack experience do your homework(books and other online material). The great thing about the turbo is to make more power you dont have to increase the size of the engine, up the compression, or anything else like you would with a N/A engine. A turbo is a torque mutiplier. Turbo = More Torque = More Fun.

I just finish a 2275 Type 1 with Dell 45's, 9.8to1 comp., Street eliminator heads 44x37.5, a Web Cam 122/125, 1 3/4 merged exhaust. I used a DTM type 1 shroud that cools the S.E. heads very well and the cam selection was spot on. It has a very type 4 like torque curve.

Sorry the graph stopd a 5500 rpm. The MSD rev limiter hit at 5800 and we lost 2 belts and didn't have another belt unless I took the one off the bug I drove 2 hours up there with and I had to get home so we stopped at 5500. I now have a new plug in for the MSD and the Alternator alignment has been solved.I think the HP curve would have nosed over about 6K and around 155 hp. maybe 160, don't realy care because I have seen the torque curve and it is mean for a Type 1.
