Let's hear it for piece meal builds!!
You can always work around a source! I'm a VW nut, so I decided I was using a water-cooled VW engine. Not the easiest task in the world considering they are all front wheel drive.
I ended up using a VW lump, a Toyota trans mated to a Subaru rear end. Talk about a mutt! But other than the flywheel it's all been a direct bolt up affair.
If you know engines, pick what you know and can work with the best and go out from there.
If you don't care and just want a donor, I'd go the Miata route and after getting some drive time determine what changes you'd like to make. Go with a +442 and you'd be able to fit almost anything into it later!
Welcome aboard and happy building!!

Never become a pessimist. A pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.-Robert A. Heinlein
