Default Battery Relocation

Has anyone relocated their battery to the rear of their f body? If so, could you please post pics and any installation issues?

Thanks...

Do a search in the drag racing forum, theres tons of pics there. When you get ready to wire everything up let me know and ill send you the drawing to do everything right.

Hey, that's pretty sharp. So the new cables just run to where the old battery used to be and you made a new, shorter block to connect them? That way you can drop the battery back in up front if you wanted to, huh? I never really thought about it, but that's pretty smart.

Have any pics of the battery in back on the left side? How did you vent it?

I used optima red top, no venting needed.
