You need a Suzuki Samurai.
You need a 1.6 block and don't need the 1.3 block.
You need tools and common car mechanic knowledge.
Just go 8v carburetor, you'd then only need the block, timing gears, tensioner pully, timing cover, and your current head. Then everything else I already mentioned in another of your threads.
I'm assuming you're not all that comfortable with car mechanics based upon your "tell me what to do" attitude. If not do the 16v its better in every way.
Lastly you need to search. Billions on people have posted everything you could ever want to know concerning everything you've posted.

I'm going to pick up my 8v this week and begin the swap very soon.  I'm collecting info left and right and I'm finding out that depending on what donor 1.6 year model you have, different things are possible or need to happen.  The early model 8v is supposedly the easiest to swap but the 16v is the best bang for the buck and much better performance in high angle off road attitudes. 
I'm saving bits and pieces of info and links in an outlook email format so if you want to PM me your email address I can send you the notes I have gathered so far.  you can read through it and get an idea of what needs to happen.  Once again most of my info is based on the 8v motor.
