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!

Ferrari V8 in a Volkswagen Corrado with a transaxle transmission so it could be rwd. :D
I would put it on or a miata, maybe a GT-86. But my heart says i should put it in a first gen NSX, but my brain says that is wrong…
I’d put it in an Alfa 8C!!
Wait a sec…
Talking seriously, I’d put it in a Brera 4wd
Fiat 124 Spider
