My Miata motor is toast....convert to Diesel? V-8? turbine? Wankel?

My daughter was commuting in my lame automatic 91 Miata with 200,000 miles; head gasket blew and motor overheated, i milled head, replaced headgasket and still has very low compression & won't start.
I really dislike the idea of fixing it and having it still be an automatic.
Any Suggestions for realistic daily driver Engine transplant?

Otherwise I am holding out for a used motor with 5 speed.
(The body and paint is great and has new tokico shocks so i don't want to sell it.)
