will post real j23 photos., the pump is now on left front side of engine way down low and not high like J18/20,
the pump still has the (thermostat bypass pipe that wraps around rear of engine, and is NOT optional ever) just like J18/20.
photos soon.
the rear of engine j23 still is hot water output and with ECT just like the old J18 suzuki sport.
the water pump still has the thermostat, and only can use j23 stats, only. do not buy them off ebay, or you will get the wrong one, Napa would be my 1st pick for parts that fit,
3 photos all j23 real. (hard to find) the photos showing rear of engine is TEST POINT A, and ECT test POINT B is the pump thermostat housing and test point C is the bypass tube at pump and around rear of engine, all points metal.
j23 actual, what is temp A, B, C

I have been in touch with Matt Verley on this, this was the inspiration for the swap. He suggested using the two 10" fans. The only difference that I can tell is his is 5sp mine is Auto.
Parts listings for thermostats (that I could find) list same for J18 and J23
I have shared photos of the tests you requested.
