Welcome aboard. You can check the Garage section for an extra engine or go to
(http://www.hawksuzukiparts.com/Header/IMAG000.GIF)
and check for a rebuilt one or kit.

Welcome Nick

Tell us where you are  located and someone near you can probably guide you to a rebuildable 1.3 block or perhaps an upgrade to trac/kick 1.6.

Most major cities have Asain import parts houses with low mile take out motors at reasonable prices.  Japan has very strict smog laws requiring early engine removal...or so I hear...never bought one myself...just a thought. Let us know when you are up and rolling... Gary

Welcome to the board. Now would be a very good time to fit a 1.6, if you're going to do a lot of mods it will be worth it.

Yes, but not alot more, and it would be very well worth it!

He is right. It is definitely worth the extra effort/cost to put in a 1.6.

Welcome!

Lots of information here and elsewhere on the Zukin's sites on swapping to the 1.6 Sidekick/Tracker engine!  It's very common

rodeoboy549, I live in Chicago and there is an place that sells Suzuki engines on Elston Ave., the place sells on eBay often, usually around $650.00 for low milage engines with warranty, don't know if that's a good price but could get you location info and phone number if you'd like.
