After making my wanted thread I decided to check out the local junkyard and see if they had any goodies in store for me. Low and behold, they definitely did. Im gonna post up some pictures here and just verify that my train of thought is right so please feel free to chime in.
Found a 1989 Mitsubishi truck. Thats what the Vin sticker said. Its a 4wd and had the 5 speed manual transmission that I am pretty sure I've been looking for. Ultimately what I think I'm going to do is take the block and tranny together out of that truck and keep them together. Rebuild the bottom end and new clutch/flywheel for the tranny.
***Edit: For some reason It wont let me upload the video I took of the 89 truck. I will work with it though and see of I cant get it to load. Basically its an 89 5 speed 4wd.
Shortly after finding that I found a few eclipses. I am not familiar with the DSM, eclipse thing so I'll have to ask that you bear with me. Pictured below is the head that I am fairly certain I am going to need. I know it is a FWD variant and I'll have to move some things around but I just want to make sure I am getting the right baseline. I'd like to find a RWD head but I dont think thats gonna happen. Anyways, here is the head I think I am gonna pick up and the vehicle it came out of:
21077
21078
I also saw these though as well. Like I said I am not familiar with these cars so this is what confused me. These look like essentially the same cars however the heads are completely different. Even if I don't use them, I'd like to learn the differences.
21079
21080
21081
21082
Lastly, I found two sets of wheels, both on D50's that I actually really like. Full sets even. The only thing is they are 14's and not 15's. If i remember reading right the 4WD versions got 15's and 2wd got 14's. My question is, will 14s fit on a 4wd vehicle or was there something about it that needed the extra inch?

21084
Found a few other small things I was looking for so tomorrow I will head back and spend the entire day out there making a mess.
You guys are insanely helpful so if you can think of anything that you may need out of a junkyard let me know and I'll be happy to pull it for you. I will send the receipt as well and as long as you cover the price and shipping, I wouldn't mind shipping it out.
