would you say that someone could tackle this swap in their garage? (with your kit if you release some type of kit that is
) what type of special tools would somebody need? and if you dont mind me asking what would be a ballpark price tag assuming you have checked around for a 2.0 just the average price at a junkyard that you have found, we would pay for everything?
sorry for the long winded ? just very interested thats all!!!!

Tracker/Vitara 2.0 liters range from as low as $500 for a raw longblock up to quadruple that depending on how low the mileage is and what you get with the motor which you will need like the intake, exhaust, all sensors, mass-air, air box, alternator, starter, p/s pump, wiring harness, ECM, etc.).
Yes, I would definately say that someone with an engine hoist and a good tool set could swap the 2.0 into a Tracker in their garage. All the hardest parts of the swap are making the motor mounts and converting the 2.0 liter harness which is about twice as complicated as the 1.6 harness:

The indestructable motor mounts I built for the installation are simple to bolt-on and align and the wiring is simple to install and connect in once it is modified properly. There is also a custom flywheel and custom pilot bushing that are also necessary. There are plenty of other complications with the swap, but I will show how to overcome them during the course of the write-up.
Hopefully that answers most of your questions.
