The VH70 is the Vertical Heavy duty and the V is just vertical.

I know the big difference is the VH is cast iron, the V is aluminum.

Any other major differences like ball bearings etc?

Does the V have that plunger pressure lube like the VH does?

Picked up a V70 today and got it running and it purrs like a kitten. Thinking of putting in my my 70 that blew a rod in the VH70.

my wifes 70 has this engine in it. I got it like that so i don't have the answer to the technical part of it, but i can tell a differnce between it and my nieces 70 that has the vh in it. the v seams to vibrate more than the vh, but that maybe something else, the v does not have the pto on it

Same engine but the block is cast iron in a VH70 and aluminum in a V70. Most other thing interchange. Roger

Wonder if I could retrofit electric start. I assume the flywheel would interchange, but don't know if the aluminum block has the bosses to bolt it (I forget, how does it mount?)

Shannon, the heavier engine may not shake as much due to weight. The lighter engine has the same balance/unbalance but less weight to dampen it.

Is your V electric start?

If you really want to do a parts comparison you can find you V70 and the VH70 at www.partstree.com. The engine used in a VH70 is VH70 type number 135008. It should provide all the answers you need. Roger

I dont see any bosses for a start on my v70.

Anyone have a picture of how it mounts?

Mike sorry it took so long to post these photos. The starter mounts on the side opposite the carburetor. Sorry for the funny photos but I had the engine laying upside down on the bench when I took them. Roger
