Just thought I might get some good comments or suggestions in mounting my Optium
Battery within the engine bay of my V8 project car. You will notice from the attached photos the vehicle has a roll bar which passes through the original battery location as well over top my "new" suggested location. Does anyone have any pictures of their V8 project car showing if there is sufficent room around this area; which may be needed to remove the battery for replacement. Can I actually remove it once the V8 is installed. Since I am a little while from installing the engine just wanted to know if anyone has previously used this location or the original location successfully ? I understand the Optium battery can be mounted just about anywhere and seeing that I am trying to retain some luggage storage space I thought this might work ok. Any comments, replies or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks from Toronto Allan Attached image(s)

Put a battery box in the rear trunk that drops down to the right of the transmission. Make a cover for it so that you can still use the trunk.
