Frame rail options

just out of curiosity because it will eventual become a strip car more then street what are my options if i go with a tube chassis front clip or full tube chassis?
go with a set of basic front frame square tube stubs and mustang II front end like the nova and camaro guys do? I understand there would be a lot of fab work but i can see this being a much better investment latter on and possibly better clearance opportunities?

At this point im trying to look at all possible options
