The LS400 and Temptor have a different bore than the 650 (87mm vs 94mm)....I am not sure what the stroke is on the LS400. Suzuki does use a different crank, rod and piston so you cannot just change the piston and cylinder as the pin is a different diameter.
We had one member (paulmarshall from NZ) that was active 3-4 years ago that did the conversion, and he supplied this forum with all the details.
