Show me some unconventional engines 

 

Ill start you with the Commer TS3 (anyone remember Commer?). 3 cylinder 2 stroke diesel with 6 pistons and a supercharger. Amazing sounding beast

Megola. 5 cylinder side valve rotary mounted inside the wheel of a pretty funky looking bike. I can only imagine it would be a nightmare to try to lean into turns with the huge gyroscopic effect.
