Default Differences between Bravo hp and standard gimbals

Can someone tell me the differences between the hp and standard gimbal assembly and what to look for when purchasing one? Used pair on Facebook, seller is Paul Lasassa Sr. I have a 28 Cigarette needing a restore. Several have suggested a single big block with XR upper and Imco -2 lower in lieu of twin outboards or twin small blocks. Boat currently no power but was twin small block with bravo's. If I go the single big block, I assume best to get the hp gimbal. New to i/o, not boating.

Any help in what I should look for on an examination is appreciated. I see one of his gimbals is missing a bolt so I definitely will check to see if housing damaged, Thanks.

I think the HP of a single engine would dictate which one you would install if you go that way

Difference between an HP transom assembly and a Std Bravo
