I came across a 4.2L Ferrari V8 from a '04-'05 Maserati Quattroporte for sale for only $4,400, including all the accessories except the AC compressor. If you bought this engine, what would you swap it into? Your budget is no more than the engine.
I would make an adapter plate to mate the engine to a FWD transmission from a Cadillac Eldorado or Olds Toronado, then turn it sideways and stuff it into the back of something tiny yet wide, cheap, and unexpected: an AMC Pacer. Ferrari-powered, mid-engined, rear-drive Pacer? Shwing!

I’d swap it into a brand new Corvette and see all of the GM fanboys scream in agony.
That would be interesting…
My abarth 595. Would be awesome
Less than 5 grand for an exotic engine? Seems fishy…
I would stick it in a 240sx
I join your side, a original engine swap on a 240 would be refreshing
Miata
must be something italian, something like a fiat punto
Austin Healey Sprite
Yesssss. I could put it in my TR6! Or maybe my Beta :P
Which generation?
Cram it in a NA Miata.
