this might be where I show my retarded side but I couldn't find any good results.

I am thinking about picking up a motor/trans/t-case-less sammy and also have a lead on a 90 tracker. (1.6 8v)

heres the big Q;  

what does it take to put the whole assembled tracker motor/trans and t-case in to the samurai?

if this is something I could do in a couple days until I can afford a crazy-ass build on the sammy I would consider doing it. I want a loaner rig around here and this might just fit the bill.

It'd be less work to just pick up the 90 tracker and put a sammy axle under it.  Fabbing suspension mounts is probably easier than engine/trans/t-case mounts

Or, maybe I'm just biased because I think sas'ed trackkicks are awesome 

Are the motor mounts different from the original 1.3 to the 1.6 8v?  And the tracker is rusty and I really want a Sammy next.
Also: my audikick will be my sas'd trackick. Sooner or later

nobody has done this?

 Hey, Jluck... Smack yourself for not thinking about a place called Izook...  Was there earlier tonight and guess what I found info on...

well I looked and still came up short (I know...I know...). all I found was 16v stuff and going to a sammy trans. I just want to flop in a assembled tracker set. (motor,trans,t-case) and go.

I even spent a few minutes on "the other zuki" forums looking.....I feel dirty and need to shower now.

I'm a thinkin that there will be some tunnel clearance issues but that should be it???

I remember that there IS a need for tunnel "helping" unless you run a B/L.

Hmmm good idea JLuck.  It will provide a shorter overall powertrain and give you a longer rear driveshaft.  Which would be good if you plan to go sky-high...or make an excellent choice to install a doubler (OTT or otherwise)!

I am trying to talk myself out of starting this project. them damn voices in my head keep arguing.

build samurai or build kick to the ultimate?

maybe neither......money situation has really taken a 180* turn lately. not looking too good.
