I am planning on doing a "mutt" 730 build on the motor that is in my orange V since it is burning oil and swapping it into my green V but I have a bunch of questions. This will be the first time I have opened up one of these motors. The pistons are old-style Fundy flat-top 84mm 11.5:1 pistons which I think are JE pistons. The cams are FST Stage 2.
Can you look through this parts list? I am not sure of some of these parts are correct and not sure which head gaskets I should get.

Piston Wrist Pin Clips - JE Pistons #787-050-MW
787-050-MW Product Detail Information - JE Pistons
Piston Wrist Pins (if needed) - JE #787-2050-14-52C
Valve Springs
Plan on buying from Glenn @ AMR
Valve Seals
Stock KFX700
Head Gaskets
Not sure what to get. Do the stock BF750 work good? Someone posted that they partially block some coolant passages. Is that correct?
Base Gaskets
Stock KFX700
I would need a valve spring compressor, correct? I am thinking of just sending the pistons, rings, cylinders, and heads to Glenn @ AMR to do the boring/honing and maybe I would just have him install the valve springs & seals. He could look over the heads for me while he is at it then also. I am thinking of sending it all to him because the machine shops around here are going to charge me about the same as he does for a bore/hone and I am not convinced they will do it right. I am in Michigan so AMR (Ohio) is not that far and shipping shouldn't cost that much.
This will be a nice winter project with one problem. Once there is snow on the ground here I won't really be able to take the V for some good, hard runs. Should I wait until the ground is clear again to run it at all?
How much will going from a stock 700 to the 730BBK affect my jetting? Base your answer off the mods to my green V (see sig).
