Description

1981 Chrysler Valiant Regal – Rebuilt Hemi 265 * Serious Engine Build * Fresh Paint

Selling my 1981 Chrysler Valiant Regal, a clean, well-sorted classic with a fully rebuilt and upgraded Hemi 265 — this is not your average Val. Proper performance parts, fresh paint, and a rebuilt auto make it a standout example.

This Hemi 265 has been fully rebuilt with quality parts (4 years ago)

Yella Terra roller rockers

Ported & polished Hemi 245 head

Oversized stainless valves – 2.02” intake & 1.6” exhaust

Upgraded valve springs (dual with damper / possibly single with damper)

ARP head studs & main bolts (rod bolts likely included as well)

Cometic head gasket

Block honed

New 40-thou oversize pistons

Polished crank – 10/10 bearings

Rebuilt & braced oil pump

Electronic ignition

New exhaust system (4 years ago)

New steering bushes and sway bars front and back means the handling is beautiful easy to to drive

This engine pulls strong, sounds tough, and is built to last.

Rebuilt automatic transmission — smooth, reliable shifts.

Black paint job (4 years old) – still presents well with a deep shine.

Straight body, clean lines, classic Regal style.

A tidy, turn-key classic with all the expensive mechanical work completed. Perfect for someone wanting a strong cruiser, a weekend toy, or the base of a proper performance Val build.
