Ken Block's fiesta is 4x And both of the first engines are pervs!
IMHO If you're going for handling - then put the engine in the middle of the car surely?! You can get away with short wheelbases with mid engined cars, but shoving the weight outwards is only ever a bad thing...
That's just my opinion of it... If you're trying to easily fit a V8 - up front, any RWD tranny... If you're trying to make one drive OK - Mid engine, Transaxle...
Other engine you might be able to get hold of on the cheap is an early Jaguar AJ-V8... Basically the replacement for the Rover V8...
