I-beam front end options

[Mike welch]

I have a 29 Tudor and it's my first build. I have three opinions for mounting my front axle. I know I'm going to run wishbones.
Option #1 mount everything in original location under crossmember
Option #2 do a traditional suicide style front end with axle and leaf spring in front of frame
Option #3 suicide front end with axle in front of frame and leaf spring behinds radiator with the shackles mounted somewhere in the middle of the wishbones. this is what I think looks the best but it's also less common and I'm sure there's a reason for that!
Would someone guide me in the right direction and give me pros and cons of each?

From the oft maligned but none the less informative Pork Site.
Hope this helps.

Mike , a guy I know has this saying " when a opinion is formed , facts will be fund to support it " , And I added this saying "when facts contrary to your opinion are presented they will be ignored ". There are ways to achieve the look you want that do not involve hanging your vehicle on the bones .
