I still want another one, I learned to drive a car in one.
IIRC a turbo DSM motor bolts into these (it's a rebadged Mitsubishi truck), not sure how much power the trans is good for though.

You are correct sir!
I have to say that the idea of blowing the doors off of a coal rolling mall parking lot queen in one of these amuses me mightily.

Anyone local that could look at this for me?

So that particular truck is a 2.6 4g54 so the starion/conquest turbo 2.6 bolts in to these while using the stock truck trans. The d50's with the Mitsubishi 2.4 4g64 used what's similar to the dsm 4g63 but it depended if the truck came with the wide block or narrow block. The wide block motor only fits the particular wideblock trans it came with. The dsm 4g63 (narrowblock) could only be mounted you the narrow and semi rare 2.4 trans.
If you wanted to easily swap in a dsm 4g63 you'd need to find a truck with a narrow block drivetrain or the 4g won't mount you the transmission. Also, if you found a 2.4 narrow block version you could just swap the cyl head from a dsm onto it and run all turbo stuff.
Nothing from a dsm 2.0 can interchange with the 2.6 stuff.
The 2.4 block is taller than the dsm 2.0 block, 229mm vs 235mm. The cyl bore is different too, the 2.4 belly 87.5mm vs dsm 85.5 (i think). The 2.4 crank is 100mm vs the 2.0 88mm. I believe the rod lengths are different as well. You can take a 2.0 and throw in a 2.4 100mm crank to make a 2.3 or put the 88mm in the 2.4 block and make a 2.1 destroker, you'll have to get longer rods though. In my galant vr4 i used a narrow block 2.4 and aftermarket 92mm crank and destroked it to something around 2.2. I used aftermarket R&R 156mm rods and custom strutted weiseco pistons. That motor revved so well and spooled my turbo way better than a 2.0 but still had the rpm of a 2.0. It had a rod ratio of 1.72 vs 1.70 of the 2.0. It was my fav Mitsubishi 4g I've ever built. I've done 2.0, 2.3, and 2.4 before.
In this truck it be easier and cheaper to swap in a starion drivetrain and harness then go mpi. To be honest none of the mitsu rwd trans are worth E36 M3 so if you're looking for big power then 4g63+built t5 or t56.
Sorry for the long rant. Mitsu 4g motors are kind of my secret gf that ive abandoned.
In reply to yupididit:
We won't tell. 
That said... All that hunting and swapping means it just needs moar V8 in it's life.
