Default Battery relocation to rear

Can anyone tell what i will need to relocate the battery into the rear of a 01 camaro. Is there any of the boards vendors that sell a kit for this?

I think i spent a total of $60 for my battery relocation. Bought a tray and connections from the local parts store. The big purchase was 24' of 2/0 welding cable, it will allow more current flow, have less resistance, and is slightly smaller in diameter than a comparable auto wire. Plus its a CRAPLOAD cheaper. Just find a welding supply store and your set.

What do you gain from battery relocation?

Just takes weight out of the front of the car and puts it in the rear. But if you do this mod be sure to do it the right way and use high quality cables. B/c I've known several people who used really cheap parts and ended up having problems

Welding cable is a much better quality of copper,and there is more of it. I did mine with 1/0 on the power and ground.
