The 2.6 came in 2 bell housing, basicly a car and truck versions. Ive found some posts about converting from a to b . There is a decant aftermarket for the 2.6L as all the boltons are the same on the Eclipse,and a van as well. . If I get rambunctious at some point I may endup throwing turbo head fuel injection intake and brain in it to play with lean burn by fiddleing with a VGT turbine (similer to altitude compensation on an airplaine). But for now Ill run scarecrow(with out a brain)

What do they go for down there? Found a pair of diesel D50s on Seattle Cragslist for 3500usd for runners 1 pretty one ugly duck, wile figuring out what Iwas going to do.

Past salt damage was from its location. The Grate Salt Lake Basin . The salt flats get stirred up and dusty preceding a storm. I've been there for a storm front, massave wall of salty dust roling through covering every thing with salt . It was almost as bad as a middle east sand storm. Then the rain rinses the salt down into all the body cracks in cavities to make sure is good and coated thoroughly. Not to mention things that they do to their roads trauma I mean what is the Salt Lake known for having plenty of? Salt.

As to future curent salt damage the land that I'll be doing projects on is 18' above a salt flat but several 100 feet below the high water mark. Extremely salty , salt crusted dirt. Dig 2.5' to hit water table, at the end of the dry season 4' with a specific gravity well over 1.030 higher than salt water in the ocean the only native plant to his land is Salt Sage and it is sparce.
