2. Are JE piston wrist pins the same size as the stock ones for KS Pistons. I had the bushings sized to the existing pin and have now decided to change to JE pistons. Do I have to have them resized or will they fit.

Use a brass wire brush to clean out the holes. You should carefully clean your rods before assembly anyway.

The JE piston pins in my 3,0 build were the same size as the old Mahles. At any rate you will have to check, or double check the fit of your new ones before your final assembly.
