The block is different and many other things. It's not cost effective to convert it.

I heard its the same block- same bore stroke and piston size, thats from their website anyways.

Elvin,<br /><br />Is the porting different between the 70 and 90 tldi too? I heard the only difference is in the ecu.

Re: Tohatsu 40hp

The TLDI 70 and 90 share a common block. To the best of my knowledge, the ECU is the only difference.
