I have an adapter plate, that was for a Lynx. The Mercury Lynx shares the engine/trans of the Escort, so it should fit. I'll price it at $50 to an FVEAA member, $150 outside FVEAA. I also have a used ADC 9 inch motor, painted orange. You can purchase a new ADC 9 inch motor for $1100 (

Pricing: $700 to non-FVEAA member, $350 to an FVEAA member. Perhaps, if someone wants to buy Steve's Escort, and the adapter and motor, they could make a proposal to FVEAA as another club project. If we do a club project Escort, I'll also throw in two 60V chargers, which, in tandem, work for a 120V pack. That would mean the project would have way under $1,000 and have most of the major pieces in it.
