New Generation Slant six enthusiasts

A company recently prototyped an MPFI manifold for a slant. Haven't heard of production plans or price. The AMC straight six (4.0L) probably has a more loyal following, since the low-end torque works great in a Jeep. I think it goes back even earlier (early 1950's?) and stayed into the fuel injection days, so easier to modernize an old engine. But, seems every old guy heard of the slant six as "most reliable ever", whether they had one or not. Don't show them photos of the ones that threw a rod thru the side of the block, usually cyl 5 for some reason.
