Thanks Guys
That is hard to say without knowing your intentions for the truck.
I can tell you the Cop Caprice is a heavy car that is tuned to 60-100 very well, and get decent mileage. Mine had a 3.08 rear. If your truck sees light duty use, and puts down 200-300HP , it should work pretty well as is.
The TV cable needs to be set up with just the same distance and angle on the throttle arm of the carb. I like the green coolant hoses cop cars came with, they are aviation grade. Welding new spring perches to a rearend is not all that difficult of a project, and would give you a 5 on5 bolt pattern. I would also keep the 120A alternator, or maybe the entire serpentine setup.

As I have read, the v6 TC stalls at about 2200 on an SS Impala, 200/300 over stock.
