Cranks are the same and bolt pattern should be the same but sumps are different due to 1 having an oil filter and the other without.
Horse power means nothing as its just a sticker.
Possible differences could be different camshaft, different carb, different jet in the carb, among cosmetic differences. After the horsepower lawsuit, engine builders are required to change a component to list it at a different horsepower.
