The carbs are the same, just different jets. Lots cheaper to change them out than to buy more carbs. I think there is a timing thing you gotta do to get to 60 HP also. My friends dad had it done to his 40's they used for hunting in Hackberry.

I know a fellar that can turn it into a 66hp if he still has any of the "kits" left. That is assuming you have the 59 cubic inch 3 cylinder 40.
