You need to add a cylinder temp guage to the cylinder. Suz King Quads will heat up. There's a fan driven oil cooler on later models that you should use. The engine will fry the stator if it gets hot. Curious, but they will. The alternator won't support a large cooling fan.
You can use any 2 or 4wd that has the super low/lockup front suspension frame for a donor. The 2WD has axle stubs identical to the 4WD.

Thanks a lot for the info! I’m only using the Factory oil cooler mounted up front so I will definitely look into getting a gauge and thermostatic fan. I think I’ll end up finding a happy medium for the suspension eventually...these projects are never actually “finished”
