Awfully tempting, Charlie. I don't know how I'd like the Max turbo with a M/T, though. A couple of questions:

1) The 2.0L in the truck is a narrow block - will the wideblock 2.6L drop into the mounts?

2) I'd need another transmission. I suppose I could change the column and make it an A/T, right?

Yes the 2.6 will set right in. The 2.0 mount brackets happen to be the same as one of the 2.6 brackets.

I presume the problem with the Starion transmission is with the tail housing getting damaged due to seizure of the output yolk?
Either way the shifter of the pickup should be swapped onto the Starion box to get fit the chassis properly. Whether it be that transmission or a later one.
Your choice as far as Auto or manual, the Starion automatic is not a bad choice as well.

Cheers, Charlie
