Geo/Suzuki 1.3L Engine - Hovercraft conversion

This is the engine that I removed from a 1999 Suzuki Swift with 113,000 miles. Rated at 75-79 hp at 5400 rpm. Overall, the engine was in great shape, and just needed some new gaskets, timing belt, and water pump. The engine is exceptionally quiet and well balanced. All extraneous wires have been removed from the harness, which I'll tidy up once I get the instrument cluster wired. The cogged belt reduction drive is not engaged in this video, but is about a 2:1 reduction. The engine will swing a 60" wooden prop.
