I'm going to start my build soon and have a question on axle choices. I am planning on running a Ford 300 c.i. straight six and am wondering if anyone would know the pro's and con's of running a spring over or spring behind front axle with this engine.
 
Because of the I6 your frame will be a bit longer. The only thing that the spring location will change is your wheelbase. The spring itself will funtion the same both ways.
