Differences between 96-97 JDM B18C R and 98+ JDM B18C R?

Just wanted to know if anyone had detailed info about the difference between the two JDM spec R motors. From what i've gathered the 96 spec has the 4.40 FD vs the 4.785 FD found on the 98 spec R motor, and and 96 spec has a 4-2-1 header vs the 4-1 of the 98 spec. Are these the only differences? Thanks!
