    Why is that? It's the same engine bay as a VL isn't it?

    More technical than physical I think. Wiring loom, ECU, Transmission and drive shaft I think too. The VH could also have a narrower engine bay.

    dont forget that the vl had the fault of poor flow in the cooling system due to the radiator being to high! (factory engineering mistake not found in the r31) to compensat holden put a bafle inside the radiator but it can become dislodged with age! just something to think about

    The radiator is lower than the top of the head, that is where the trouble comes from, but if you bleed the system correctly you should have no worries at all.
