Battery box?
I'm kicking around this idea
Not really looking to relocate the battery to the trunk (maybe to where the stock air box was) just wondering if anybody has done it? and how to do it

I havent done it, but have thought about it.
My first thoughts would be just to move the battery /battery plate back, re ground / Get longer cables. This would be my guess as it seems that is all that would need to be done

^^ Yeah I was thinking it was that easy, but then again, that's usually gets me in trouble.
What I think will take 5 minutes, takes about 2 hours

Just FYI, if you actually did move the battery to the trunk, you may need to have a kill switch installed in the back of the car in order to drag race. Depending on how strict they follow the rulebook.

i took the battery and air box and batt trey out and stared at them for a good 4 hours, i had to hack off a few tabs that held the air box, and drlled a few holes in the box and part of the frame, then made some L brackets and bilted the box up i was able to keep the factory cables but i upgraded every thing except the starter wire
