Question rear disc conversion

I have a 65 with and 8" rearend. I want to put the rear disc breaks, but I am not interested in spending the money for a ss Brake setup. I want to do the Junkyard swap. I want to keep my rear axle and do what ever I need to make it Disc.
I went to pick-n-pull this weekend to see what they had. I found the cars listed below. Will any of these cars work for the kind of project I have in mind? If not what cars should I look for. What car parts and mounting brackets should I use. I want to keep a parking brake since this will be a driver, not a track car. The options I have heard about are using a Cadi, caliper, ford product rotars and a 3rd party mounting bracket. I have seen someting about using only ford/lincoln rear discs as a minor work to mount. Additionally I have also heard something about using an explorer set up.

the cars I found with rear disc brakes are:

85 Lincoln cont
84-86 MK VII
8? MK IV
81 Cadi Biarritz (looks like an eldorado)
83-85 Cadi Eldorado

Keep in mind I want to do the wrecking yard thing, as I will rebuild the parts myelf. The only thing I want to purchase from a dealer is the mounting bracket if I go that path.

Thanks,

Ray Hll
