There are a couple of commercially available designs that spring to mind, Anthony Mount's Cross engine and also his rectilinear engine, click on the bold print to see them

The company that I linked to sell just drawings or drawings complete with castings. page 6 for costs

It is possible to make the cross without castings, click the "bauabschnitton" link at the bottom of this page to see one being built
