Pacemakers have just replyed saying
"Manual rack is fine and almost recommended as is smaller and no hi-pressure lines to deal with, but must have power steering k-frame no matter what. For 355 stroker into a VB-VK, Pacemaker headers part number PH5700"

My question is I can bolt my p/s rack and manual rack to my k-frame so what do they mean by must have p/s k frame

To have p/steer can only be with later model vn-vs k frame,vl or vn splined p/steer rack with vl p/steer intermediate.

vb-vk k frame with manual steer rack is fine....easiest & cheapest way.

With vb-vk kframe & p/steer setup you'll have issue after issue...

PH5700 - 1 3/4 primaries
PH5600 - 1 5/8 primaries

Both sizes will work with strokers don't really need larger pipes unless aiming for 500 plus....do however need to change 2 1/4 outlet to 2 1/2...common mod proven to add torque over 2 1/4 outlets & yeah outlet sizes can be mixed up when made.

Have fitted both sizes to same car & weirdly the bigger 1 3/4 pipes sounded better on same car/exhaust setup...was very surprised by that.

All good,manual rack is simplest way to do it.

When fitting don't bother messing around just take completely remove starter motor, & steering...jack engine up & feed extractors from underneath on driver's side & iirc passenger side fits both ways although usually from top seems easier for me with sparkplugs removed.
