    Small chance it could have come out of a vh pacer, but most likely a Regal or 770.. Any way of telling what colour it was originally?
    Sorry to keep bugging with questions...

    No worries, happy to answer - it's interesting to try and find out more about it (don't get cross but as a pom I had no idea what a valiant was until today!).

    I think it was red by the looks of it.

    Ok. Sounds l Iike it is most likely out of a VH Regal 770. The B would represent it was built in '71.

    Shakey this motor is a better option than swapping to a 2.25p or god forbid a 2.6. Much better than the ubiquitous holden conversion.

    If it is a '71 model then it should have the pre emission controls camshaft. Fit decent carburation and exhaust and it will rev like a turbine. The later CL & CM had emission controls including a camshaft that made them into low speed high torque engines. It is a 265 so already has the big valves. Get a four barrel manifold and Quadrajet, CM split exhaust headers or extractors and hang on.

    Thanks everyone - think I've got a fair bit of work to do before it can be driven but I'll try and see if I can start the motor first - it's not seized so that's a start.

    Who manufactured the Valiant conversion kits for Land Rovers? Were they commercially made or just one off home made jobs?

    Isuzurover - the trim level of the car is what determined what performance level the motor was - if it was Regal or similar, it copped the better motor.

    Chrysler got desperate to sell cars later in their life here - if you could invent it on paper, they would build it for you. There were some pov pack sedans (Rangers) that snuck out of the factory with E38 and E49 motors - the ultimate Valiant sleepers.
