Although I've heard rumors of BPTs from Mazdaspeed Miatas being put in.

Mazda tested the pre-production Presso/MX-3 with a couple of FWD modified rotaries, a 13b and a 15f (trip rotor!), so a 13A from a FWD RX-4/Luce might work if you can find one. That, and pretty much any other swap but the K-series or B-series motors, would run you a pretty penny in fabrication costs though.
