    I put a VS K-frame and rack into my VH - no probs apart from having to use a VL intermediate steering shaft to connect the column to the rack

    Advantages are more exhaust clearance between steering rack and sump.
    the vh racks are physically larger and leave little clearance.
    I had issues with carbed 304 vn heads etc the extractor hit on both
    steering rack and sump causing an oil leak.
    changing to the vn v8 k frame and vn v8 steering rack gives alot more room.
    keep in mind you also need a vl 6cyl intermediate steering shft as
    the vn v8 racks are shorter in height.
