The GM and Ford guys had a head start on us.

somewhat true i guess.

the other issue is how anti-enthusiast chrysler has been over the years. hell you could go to ford and buy a street rod harness to put a injected mustang motor into anything you wanted as far back as like 1988. chrysler had the 318 and 360 magnum motors and never offered any kind of universal harness for it. only ever saw a handful of EFI magnum motor swaps over the years most likely because of that.

not really sure if chrysler had continued to build v-8 rear wheel drive cars that guys would modify their classic muscle. maybe mopar guys wouldn't be so afraid of EFI if chrysler kept the v8/rwd cars going, but i do know a lot of mopar guys are weird like that. too many in the mopar hobby are in it because they were the latest checkbook guy fad. hopefully those types are slowly leaving and the true enthusiast return. over the last few years it does seem that more classic mopar owners are wanting to get out and drive/enjoy them instead of just having them as expensive garage art.

the other thing i see happening is that a lot of classic mopar muscle owners are selling their classic and buying new muscle. not a bad idea really. hard to argue with the performance of those new cars. and with the new cars being popular you are also seeing more modern chrysler/fiat motor swaps into classic cars. there are a few companies making easy to use harnesses for that swap which helps. not sure if anti-enthusiast chrysler is making any type of street rod harness though..
