Hi folks, hope everybody had a good weekend. This car is going to have a 2.4 L carbureted/6 engine hurt but at some point in the future will need the hell hole tidied up. I just need to get the engine in and the car running so well I understand I’m creating more work for myself at some point in the future it’s time to get this thing moving under its own power.
Given that I am thinking about relocating the battery to the position as shown. I am imagining a plastic battery tray that simply bolted to the floor would be fine, but wanted to get some thoughts prior to diving in.. Thanks! (Sharp eyed people who have had their morning coffee will probably spot that there’s a 3.2 L in there, different plans for that motor) |

I’m a fan of the stock location. It really fits into how these cars were designed and packaged. Luggage space, weight distribution, optimal packaging, etc. now that we have no leak batteries, it’s even better.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If the battery is managed properly there should be minimal degradation with the hell hole area. Curious: can the targa top be stored with the battery being moved into the rear? |
