I was considering relocating the battery into the trunk, but I thought of another option... Could I mount a Braille battery onto the engine bay firewall of my 1969 Cutlass? I have the AC and heat deleted, so I have plenty of room to use their mount on the passenger side.
My concern is passing tech at the drag strip, and I'd like to road race it too. I know you can't mount a FPR on the firewall, not sure if there is a rule about the battery in that location.
This would remove the heavy battery from nose of the car (behind headlight), to a more centered location. No hassle of running long cables to the trunk with remote solenoids, rear firewalls, cut off switches etc. Also make it easier to run a dual snorkle intake system, with no battery in the way.
