so i have a 29 model a tudor/sedan it will have a crate 350 and a turbo 400 and i am trying to decide on the direction for the frame.

my original idea was to buy a frame and throw a mustang II front end and a 9 inch rear end
so i found a solo frame from west texas speed. http://westtexasspeed.com/HOT_ROD_PARTS.php
its already Z'd and boxed etc

but then i have reading that crown vic front ends are so much better and much more stout.
which then brought me to the idea of using the entire frame from a crown vic and still use my 9 in rear end

and recently my brother wants me to buy his 89 blazer and use his frame.. im not sure i want any part of that.

so i am looking for advice,suggestions or whatever..

The blazer and Vic are way to wide. They have whats called a primiter frame. The track width is also way to wide.
 
Are you going to run fenders? The Mustang 2's are fine (in thousands of street rods) if you are using fenders to hide them.
 
Pretty hard to argue against a beam axle and hair pins for something like a Model A sedan.

Here is a 31 Sedan I did a few years ago. Slightly different arrangement of the above parts but you get the idea.
