if i was going to swap in the v6 from the grand vitara would i have to put a lift kit in my tracker or would i be able to leave it lowered and still keep the 4wd?
-
You wont be taking it out on the trail then?
I would say your be ok as you are to fit the V6 but they look and go better lifted lowered cars was so 1980s lol :-)
-
Well, I know that the V6 is a "taller" engine than the 1.6 is - that may be an issue, and it's also a lot "wider".
But people have done it - I'm just thinking that the 3" BODY lift may actually be necessary, to fit it under the hood.

lowered CARS may have been "so 80s" but lowered trackers arent very common... in fact mine is the only one lowered anywhere near where i live

There is a reason for this.
If I put 13" wheels on my Sidekick, and stretched it out to a 200" wheelbase, it would be the only one like it anywhere near where I live, too. But hey, to each his own!

Look guys, He isn't knocking us for our lifted Zuk's so lets NOT knock him for his lowered Zuk.
We all don't need a rock crawler or street cruisers!
To each his own!
Just my .02

I have to admit....Looking at the picture sure makes it looks like it actually handles pretty well. Dave ;D

Nah, maybe poking a little fun at him.
A lowered vehicle just wouldn't work for me, because of the gravel roads I drive every day - I'd be dragging bottom all over the place.  So, I guess there IS an advantage to living in the city (or at least where the roads are all paved)!

Having done a V6 swap in, I'd say that you would be able to keep everything lowered. The transmission /t-case mount will be in the same place. You'd have to fab some engine mounts but the bottom of the engine sits relatively the same as the 4-bangers. HOWEVER, the engine is quite tall and intake "doughnut" will be real close to your hood. You may have to fab a cowl induction style hood scoop or something, which wouldn't even have to me noticeable.
Good luck, -Eric
PS. That's a nice lowered Sidekick and anyone who says different is a ninny. 8)

Looks kickin to me!!!
Good Job.
If you do the swap, take some pictures and post.

finally i actually got an answer to what i was asking. to the people who where cracking on my tracker i dont care if u like it lowered or not, lowered is my thing if u like lifted tracker more power to u but i wont make fun of you. personally i thing trackers look better slammed, with a body kit and some 20s
