I need to spoof the IP source address of some packets in order to perform some experiments. Should I expect those packets to be dropped? What’s the common practice here for routers?

It all really depends on the router, some routers do ingress filtering, which may drop your packet. See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_filtering
