1980 Dasher vs 1980 Rabbit - What is the difference?

[R.O.R-2.0]

nah, no blow for me.. been clean for longer than i can remember now. over 4 years..

While many small parts (besides the motor) are the same, the Dasher is a completely different car than a Rabbit. I would be looking for TD Quantum/Audi 4000 TD parts for this conversion if I was going to try it (which I might, as I have an 81 Dasher out back!)

[R.O.R-2.0]

yea, rabbits are nowheres close to the same as a dasher..

like i say, the dashers closest relative woule be an Audi Fox, VW quantum, or audi 4000. i think the VW Fox is too much different from the dashers.

A platform cars are way different from B platform cars.

I live in california and so an audi fox or 4000 is quite the rare bird.

They're pretty rare everywhere. I live in Canada, where Dashers were never sold. Mine was imported some years ago.

the 4k's are reasonably common but none of them out here, I am also from California, are td. This does have my thinking about a 4kqtd. I know this has been discussed but I can never remember information about bellhousings etc. do the four cylinder and five cylinder inline motors share the same bellhousings?

[truckinwagen]

I do not believe that the five banger shares the four banger bellhousing.

but an adapter plate is not that hard

audi 4KQ still had a 5 banger. and like owen mentioned, the bell patterns are WAY different.

a 2.0 5 cyl TD would be pretty ***in in a 4KQ tho!

i need a 4000quattro! already got the 5 cyl.
