A fair bit .. for the additional labour etc ... I would just fit a 1.6 and be done with it ..
The top two bolts will fit but will need something to make the gearbox bolt holes smaller.
The lower two will actually be wider than the block on the 1.3 .. so some kind of adapter plate will be needed

forget the bolt holes!!!
have you tried to fit a vitara box into a sierra transmission tunnel? MUCH bigger.
I had to widen the tunnel by 2" to fit my vit box into the sierra. The shifter holes are out by miles aswell.
Can I ask why you want a vit box, but not the engine?
Pics
this shows the unmodified drivers side, and the widened passenger side
Both sides cut
Shifter holes
Welded up both sides.
More work than its worth just to run the crappy 1.3 in front of it.
