The usual problem: the Mopar medium-block just didn't fit where a Ford did, having been originally engineered to fit. Poor Chrysler had the same difficulty 10 yrs earlier in trying to put ANY long, wide Mopar V-8 into Sunbeam Tigers. They'd bought Sunbeam, then found that due to U.S. legislation, they were on the hook for 5 year warranties for the 260 and 289 FORD smallblocks used in the Tigers. Chrysler eventually gave up trying with their smallest 273 V-8 and simply stopped selling the popular little roadsters. So I believe the statement about a turbo-4; that's about the only Chrysler that would have fit without major (expensive) engineering.
