I finally got around to installing the rear trunk shock kit from Ken Schipper. It is a must on V8 cars as the torsion bars that hold up the trunk get removed in the conversion to make room for the distributor, and great if your torsion bars are tweaked on a Porsche motored car. (much more civil than a stick as a trunk prop) They are available on ebay. Don't remember how much.


Has anyboby out there installed a battery in the front trunk in place of the windshield washer bottle?
Will one fit there? Feedback please.

Hi Tesserra,

I have a rear trunk shock kit, but I have yet to install it. Probably will attack that this weekend.

Putting a battery there? I'm not sure there's the room without some creative wrangling or cutting. How would you secure it from shifting during movement?
