Dodge St. Regis Parts & Accessories

The Dodge St. Regis is a full-size B-body produced from 1979 through 1981, representing the final generation of the classic Dodge big car before the brand fully transitioned to front-wheel-drive downsized platforms. Positioned as the flagship of the Dodge lineup in its brief production run, the St. Regis was sold alongside the Monaco and was available exclusively as a four-door sedan. Collectors and restorers come here for mechanical replacement parts and performance hardware compatible with the 318 LA V8 and 360 LA V8 engines that powered the vast majority of St. Regis models. The B-body torsion bar front suspension on these cars is well-supported in the Mopar aftermarket, making restoration of the chassis and drivetrain accessible even on high-mileage examples.

Popular Upgrades

The most frequently sourced parts for the Dodge St. Regis include exhaust manifold gaskets, carburetor rebuild kits for the Carter Thermoquad and Carter BBD carburetors, front torsion bar suspension hardware, and brake system components including disc brake pads, rotors, and rear drum brake hardware. Performance upgrades include K&N cold air intake filters, Edelbrock intake manifold upgrades for the 318 and 360 LA V8, and Borla or MagnaFlow cat-back exhaust systems designed for B-body Mopar fitment. Front suspension bushing kits from Energy Suspension and Moog ball joints are popular handling upgrades for cars used as regular drivers.

Performance and Handling

The 318 LA V8 and 360 LA V8 in the St. Regis respond well to four-barrel carburetor upgrades, performance intake manifolds from Edelbrock, and cat-back exhaust improvements that improve both sound quality and exhaust flow. The B-body torsion bar front suspension is adjustable and tunable, benefiting from front sway bar upgrades and quality polyurethane bushing replacements from Energy Suspension for noticeably improved cornering response. Buyers sourcing brake parts should note the St. Regis used front disc brakes as standard equipment across all trim levels, making rotor and pad sourcing straightforward compared to earlier drum-front B-body Mopars.

What engine does the Dodge St. Regis use?

The Dodge St. Regis was offered with the 318 cubic inch LA V8 as the standard engine and the 360 LA V8 as the performance option across the 1979-1981 model years. A small number of 1979 models were available with the 225 Slant-Six as a fuel-economy option, though V8 examples make up the large majority of surviving St. Regis cars. Both the 318 and 360 use identical external dimensions and share intake manifold bolt patterns with the broader LA V8 family, making performance upgrades interchangeable between the two displacements.

Are brake parts available for the Dodge St. Regis?

Yes, the St. Regis used a conventional front disc and rear drum brake setup shared with other late-1970s B-body Mopars, and replacement rotors, pads, calipers, and rear drum hardware are all available. Upgraded front brake rotors with improved thermal capacity are available for owners who drive these cars more aggressively. Raybestos and EBC both offer St. Regis-compatible brake kits with vehicle-specific fitment for the B-body rotor and caliper dimensions.

Why These Parts Fit Right
