Got stant 48028 stat and Felpro 35432 rubber seal...
the best way to do this is buy the whole thing, a 97 thermostat and rubber ring kit, mixing and matching parts and makers will be pain.
even at the counter put the ring and with ruler, see 2.224 (almost 2.-1/4" ) if yes BINGO
the makers of thermostat feel (i guess) that they have free reign on fit. as the CAR maker (GM/SuZ) sells no seal kits at all so the after-marketeers get a bit wild here.
what you want is OEM exact fit,
there are exceptions here, some cars have corrosion here, (not seen in your photo), and they RTV SILICON glue in the thermostats.(desperation)
