I'd look for something a little lighter! Maybe a truck? A Dakota? Even a RWD importakes more sense to me! Lighter will be more fun. I understand wanting something to put it in until you find what you want but a big old Lincoln don't compute for me! Good luck with what ever you build!
I was just thinking, ya know how many 1st and 2nd gen dakotas I see for $900? And how many B body magnums, cordoba, and fury, cars I see for the same? Lots!
