She's on the Road...
Put a bosch electric water temp gauge in and she's running 170-200 range all day long without an issue, ECM temps from the ODB2 connector reported were easily +40 degrees from what is being reported from the water temp gauge so my fears of overheating with the larger J23 engine was unfounded.
She's a runner.. I've had her up to 80Mph on the interstate and still have pedal left and the A/C blows cold. I'm happy with the way things turned out.
EXCEPT.. Looks like either the aftermarket rear main seal (Fel-Pro) isn't right or I installed it wrong so it's leaking and will require me to pull it all apart again.
I've ordered an OEM Suzuki rear main seal and am borrowing the Suzuki seal install tool from a friend so that I will be attempting to do this again, hopefully with success.
Thx for the input in this message thread and I've been happy with the results.
