cases are the same but the motors should be balanced differently to take account of the rubber / rigid engine mountings

however the factory does not do this and balances them all for rigid mounts because the rubber mounts should eliminate the vibes anyway

however if you are rebuilding a bottom end you can take this factor into account, and if the person balancing your motor doesn't ask what frame the motor is going into...................... you may end up paying for a compromised job
