Opinion on a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis LS?

There is one near me in decent shape at a cheap price. I was wondering if was worth considering building as a Stocker. Is it Dime Rocket material?

The engine is the 4.6L SOHC V8 / AT / SEFI / 2-valve, NHRA rated at 210hp (from 190/210). The factor is 17.34, which would put it into the following classes:

NHRA
17.00 Q/SA (14.10 index) 3740lbs
18.00 R/SA (14.35) 3950

IHRA
16.00 I/FI (13.65) 3530
18.00 J/FI (14.25) 3950
16.00 I/PS (14.55) 3530

Its probably handicapped by a lack of specific performance parts, but there may be some things that could be crossed over from Mustangs and trucks.
