The BMW K75 engine would work well - very smooth, water cooled, fuel injected and set up for a dry clutch. It would have to be mated with a transverse 5 (or 6) speed manual and automatic.

Which points to something about Elio developing their own engine - they'll either have to find a matching manual and auto transmissions - or they have to develop their own ...
