ok -
the 600 and 750 share crankcases, and are so close to the original 1980 pantah cases its not true !
the 900 and above are newer cases, but if you look beyond the plumbing on an ottovalvole you will clearly see that the crankcases are really the same as the old 1990 air-cooled 900 ones.
So - you can fit the 750's hydraulic clutch setup on a 580 for example.
You can also swap other bits like cranks and gearboxes too, but because some machining is done (for things like the barrel spigot) you may have to a little bit more than 'just drop it in'
when moving up in capacity, but the other way round should be almost a doddle
Adding an oil coolers is a simple plumbing exercise anyway, but if you are only going to run for a half a dozen laps ... do you really need to add all that weight
btw
given the lack of interest in my FE for sale ... I'm even thinking of picking up a 580 engine (£100 ?) and bunging that into the FE
