I'm not fully across what Valiant had engine wise in the R/T offerings here are so maybe there was also a V8 option,the six cylinder engine in the Valiant Charger was a gutsy engine and were used for racing in the Australian Production Car touring races.

Most probably the "slant six" ? as it was called here in the USA. Could have been the base for a V12? Quote Link to comment
VFR800 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 They are a slant six,265 ci was the larger capacity engine. Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The Aussies have lots of sweet go fast parts for the six cylinders. They had lots more restrictions than Americans did back then, so they got good at building the engines they had. Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 413-Powered 1952 Chrysler New Yorker DOMINATES New England LeMons Race The reason is this beautiful 64-year-old luxury Chrysler, a 1952 New Yorker discovered in forsaken and engineless condition by ERM Racing team captain Dave Burden. Dave rounded up an unwanted early-1970s motorhome that had been festering for decades in someone’s yard, and the team extracted a 413 Wedge engine, Torqueflite 727 transmission and RV shifter, a big radiator, and some other pieces. Sound familiar? They couldn’t get the engine timing set right, until someone realized that the distributor turns backwards on the industrial 413 engine and they were retarding when they should have been advancing the New Yorker’s timing. http://www.roadkill.com/413-powered-1952-chrysler-new-yorker-dominates-new-england-lemons-race/ 2 Quote Link to comment
