If you want a cross plane S65, look no further than the P65 racing engine. There might be a cross plane modular V8 out there somewhere, but not from the factory that I am aware of.
By the way, I am a huge fan of the modular V8 since my dad was one (of hundreds, sure) of engineers who helped test that engine. I have clear memories of him designing a windage tray for it in his shop (a proof of concept and suggestion he made that didn't end up being used, at least not at the time). I also remember riding in a Lincoln Continental test mule back around 1990 or so and him laying down patches of rubber. Sure it was just the original SOHC engine with about 200hp, but it was a thrilling experience nevertheless. I have high hopes for the next Mustang. If they get the Roadrunner engine up to 8000 RPM and 100hp/L in production form, it will become very hard to resist. And if they can manage to get a DCT on the options sheet, there may very well be one in my driveway.
