Not sure if he sells 'em, but I'd have to try Brent @ Trail Tough:

I assume you are going to use the Samurai Trans?

I used Trail Tough's kit. Very good quality. I was going to do my own, because I did not like the way the others did it (drilling out the upper Trans holes... yuck :( ). But, TT does it right with turned / threaded studs and it worked perfectly! :) :D

It runs about $150 USD....(no pump - Cheeper to get your pump in Canada? [needs 10GPH at 40 PSI for 8V])

FYI - From recent experience, you will also need the following:
- Tracker Passenger side mount, or be able to slot the top hole of a Samurai mount by .100"
- Tracker starter. The Samuri can be use (I did) but it requires ugly grinding on both the block and the starter. I don't recommend it! :(
- Tracker accessories. (well that's what they said, I used all Samurai accessories as well as Samurai AC and my race car PS pump..... It's very easy if you know the trick!!!!! {hint - I had an '95 Sami onto an 8V 1.6}).... :D

Higher Heights has been gone for a while now.
I am running the kit from Trail Tough. Very straight forward install, heck, I did the 1.6 conversion in a campground :eek: in Moab... No major problems noted.
