Reason for concern-
I specificaly wanted a 90+ motor because it has more internal webbing for incresed block stiffnes, 4 millimeters more of metal to the connecting rods, and a relocated axial bearing for less creank flex. The 90+ motors are the strongest B230FT made. I threw a rod in my 85 745 with too much boost (over 20psi), and am doing an engine swap.
