Hi!You should not reduce the suction side ,only the discharge,ohtervise the 
pump will cavitate.The 5 ' rise should be ok but try to limit you're elbowes 
specially right after the discharge!

  Before I ask my question, I did search the archives but did not find
  any information regarding my "specific question".

  I am building a BD processor - based on the appelseed design - and I
  intend to use a Northern Industiral Clear water Pump - 760GPH, 1 1/2in
  ports.  I would like to neck the ports down to 3/4 in, but not being a
  plumber or fluid mechanic, I wanted to know if this would case and
  pressure problem.

    I will be processing 40gallons (US).  The static head will be approx 5ft.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  tks,
  Larry
