Im putting a 1.6l 8v motor and automatic trans from a 93 Tracker in my 92 Samurai . I ordered the tailshaft adapter i need to adapt to sammis transfer case . Is there anything else i need to put this engine in ?
Ive had people tell me that i need different motor mounts , and others say i can use the stock ones from the samurai. Ive also been told by some that i need to replace the tranny mount and others tell me that i can use the stock one and that all i have to do is slot the hole where the stock mount bolted in and still other people tell methat i have to replace the stock crossmember ( trans ).
Im turning to you guys to lead me in the right direction.

i think as long as you have the 1.6 adaptor plate when going from the 1.3 you should be fine.

The (US) passenger side mount will cause problems, its about 1" out, you can cut the mount off the frame and relocate it, fab something up or buy a set of custom mounts from one of the Suzuki specialists.
If you're running a lift kit then you may get away with using the stock trac/kick oil pan. If not then you will need to use a modified Sammy pan and rework the oil pick up pipe to suit.
If you're using the auto box from the tracker then I would expect that you will need to fab up a gearbox crossmember. Its not a very common conversion.

Concerning the engine I would be sure to replace the Seals and gaskets
Rear main seal w/ gasket
Front main seal
Water pump
Thermostat
Timing cover
Timing belt
Belt tensioner
All of these are cheap insurance. Doing these items in the truck SUCK.
