Replica Engines

Besides TVA's replica Oberusel (which is absolutely gorgeous), have other replica engines been attempted? Specifically, I'm interested in the Wright Model 4 (powered the Wright Model A according to wikipedia), a 3 cylinder Anzani, and an Antionette V8. That said, I'd love to read about any other reproduction engines should they exist. Are there plans of the internal workings of these engines floating in the ether, or would I need to purchase one to disassemble?

Can someone point me in the direction of some good technical books to get me started on learning more about the workings of these engines? I assume there are some good materials on rotary engines as well?

Thanks!
