since it is a 'show car' you are not really after a huge amount of power, but instead you should look for an engine that looks good.
rotary is a fine choice, but you will only be able to get a 12A approved (not turbo), and you will have issues with the trans tunnel, since rotary gearbox sits higher.
for showyness, i'd say 4AGZE or 4AGTE, small motor, looks good with shiny bits, and turbo always adds a touch of class to a show engine bay.
3TGTE would look good also, with the twin cam cover and 8 plug wires 
the 1GGTE manifolds look good, although fitting it in would be a bit of a challenge..
i would suggest you first talk to an engineer to find out what you can get registered.
Peter L Smith in Camden are wuite good, and sensible.
no conversion will be 'easy' per se, all will need pretty much all custom stuff and much much larger brakes. some conversions are harder than others tho (rotary and 1G)
what exactly do you want to do with the car, what budget, how much power, how much performance etc etc.
Cya, Stewart
