Any benefits from using the newer steering linkage, or will it even fit? I dont really want to get another K, and would like to use up the box on the shelf.

But I had factory HiPo exhaust manifolds. If you have certain headers and you motor is on the edge of stock position, it may be an issue. Just depends on how much and where you have room. I have TTI 3/4" stepped headers with that setup and no issues.

The late center link is wider where the inner tie rod ends attach. If you've already done the late disc brake swap all the better.
