You mention wanting frame horns with the suicide front end. Usually, this is tough to do because the axle wants to come up and hit the now lower frame. But it is not impossible to do, my Son Dan did that on his rpu. He had to notch the frame not only for spring clearance, but also for axle clearance. Since the car only bounces a couple of inches at most, he has never bottomed yet.
Here are some pictures to show how he did it. He ended up using a more arched spring that shown here, the car just sat too low, especially when the engine was put in.
