Took forever but here it is.
Fuel Injection Slant Six Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth 225/170/198 Intake Manifold Kit | eBay

Not the price point I was hoping for but this opens the door for a few rich slants to be injected off the shelf.

"Rich slants" Ain't that the truth? Such a niche market though, I sure wasn't expectin WalMart prices.
 
IMHO:
1) If you want to build a slant - it will cost money.
2) Fuel Injection- It is now an option- but is it a one off piece or full scale production? eBay is tough to gauge that.
3) I have to admit that is a cool looking piece. But I was unable to see any electronics for it. Do you just run a sequential Chevrolet 3.8 v-6 ecm and harness or what do you think is the intended controls?
4) What is the intended HP / TQ of this intake? I look at cost of a part vs what I am getting out of it. $1000 for 50hp more is $20 per hp.
On a 140hp slant /6 not bad -or you REALLY want to be different. What is HP worth these days?
5) easier to add a turbo.

Typically, horsepower of carb vs. EFI is a wash. But on a slant it should help equalize fuel distribution.

Advantages I see are easier starting in all kinds of weather because choke is eliminated. Better driveability. Cleaner running engine and less oil contamination. Possibility of better MPG. Ready for turbo.

Hell, I could sell my unused slant stuff and probably pay for it. But it doesn't include fuel injectors, throttle body, efi control system, etc.
It really looks to be well made, I like it.

It's cool, but looks funky and awkward vs a carb set up. But probably get some good mileage with that puppy.
 
note the slant six fuel rail for <$ 70.00
that is a great price

get a Clifford intake with the nitrous bosses and drill them for injectors,.
or weld injector bungs on to a regular Clifford, and you will have a good manifold for a FI slant.

although that Gill Welding manifold looks like a nice piece also, for a bolt on ready, fabricated part, it would look great under the hood.

From my experience with a MPFI slant, the biggest advantage over a carb is the ease of tuning the motor, you do it all with a lap top, the Mega Squirt system that I have also controls ignition advance, has a built in two step throttle control and knock sensing.
There is no changing jets in the carb, or changing springs in the distributor. Any tuning change you want is a key stroke away.

for an ECU, a fully assembled Micro Squirt, with a harness is available new for <$400.00 The Micro Squirt will control fuel and ignition, or to start with, just do fuel and let your existing points or mopar electronic distributor run the ignition side, I believe the Micro Squirt also does data logging.
MicroSquirt Assembled Engine Management System
add a GM Vortec throttle body from your local P-A-P, grab the IAT and Coolant temp sensors, couple with a GM MAP and for engine controls you are about set
you will still need a fuel delivery system, Tanks INC has a bolt in A body fuel tank with an internal fuel pump, or consider one the returnless systems.

The point is, all of the basic parts required to install a MPFI system on a slant are available basically over the counter. If you want to do it, the parts are available.
