Is there a certain amount of drop with springs that you need relocators? Or will I be okay with stock location?
The only way to know 100% is to measure.

Measure a front shock installed w/full vehicle weight on the corners. Pull a front shock & measure the fully compressed + extended dimensions. The math will suggest what you should do.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
