sounds like a solid plan. if you get the chance, run the starter over to your local rebuilder and see if they can do a 4 brush conversion. you will not regret it. given what i'm seeing you doing, i assume you bought a top end gasket set as well as the bottom end stuff.. reseal everything you can get to. everything likes to leak once it's been apart .

Oh yeah - new gaskets and seals all around.
What’s the purpose of a four-brush conversation…? I’ve got a core charge but if it’s worth doing I’ll take you up on it.
more brushes, less points of failure. i 4 brushed all my 300ci ford 6 cylinders. never had one fail. if your starter is a known weak one, beefing it up is a must. hell, the starters on the old cx650 honda silverwings were notorious for failure, got the one on mine done, nary a problem.
Nice! Maybe 🤔 maybe I’ll keep and rebuild and eat the core charge to keep a spare on hand.
