What do you mean by a "Truck case"? Are you talking about the differential case? I'd be running a spool.
It's been about 25 years since I was underneath one of these things- they use the same triangulated 4-link that GM used in all their other mid and full sized cars for 30 years or so, right?
I think the stock rules allow relocating one of the mounting points on those to move the instant center of the rear suspension to improve the geometry.
You use an OEM SS rear sway bar and TWO airbags? I thought I remember people only using one air bag back then. Are there better rear sway bars available so that I can get away without having to run any airbags? I can tune a sway bar like that with washers.
What about headers? I See that Hooker makes ceramic-coated headers with 1-3/4" primaries that sweep up and over, into a 3" collector.
In any case, thanks for your input.

The Caprice Sedan can run J.
The SS can only make K.
The wagon is a natural N car..can go M.
As for my wagon. It is set up for towing the SS.
FI grins bracket raced it ina hot day and Rand 14.95 that evening.
All stock engine with 3.73 for towing.
The Tahoe and truck came with thicker 4L60E cases.
Also a 6 quart oil pan. Which I have on my SS.
Mine has a Yank 4400PT Locking converter.
Mine is still licensed and can take for a car wash.
Have a choice to Lock up or use OD without screaming the engine.
However limited to 4700rpm stall on a 10 inch converter.
8 inch can go where you want with 5% top end slip.
Just turn off the Files to prevent Lock up feature up.
Using TunerCat and ODB1 tuning.
When you go under the car to see the chassis.
It will be familiar and 96 was last use of that chassis series.
It was introduced in 1964 for the Intermediates.
Then late 70’s 90’s Impalas. Rebodied 91 to 96’s
As for airbags.
You can get away with one on the right side.
Having good luck with both and can adjust the hit.
For cams big choices. Talk to Bullet cams.
NHRA standardized on the F-Body cam specs.
Do not know why.
If we had to use the B-body cam would put us N or below.
