Just like to add that there may be a radiator mounting issue; but i don't
have any proof; as I don't have a Dasher type any more
(Only 4 Quantae...:oD) but looking at my book which only covers Dasher
gassers ; the setup of the rad was not dissimilar to that of the 5 ganger
Quantae ie set back from the front of the car. n/a's did exist so it should
pan out :o). However as well as the 1.3 and 1.5 engines in the Dasher; it
later also had the YP 1.6 block which was an option for many years in the
Quantum... Possibly the driveshaft lengths could be different to the
Quantum. I could search but I'm running out of steam.;o)
Good luck...
