It's 680 cranking amps, and you are right about the gear reduction starter. I think that is what I am going to go with.

Thnx for the pic of the battery,I like ,I like!!15 lbs instead of 10 tons .That will put me closer to dropin a 100lbs,because for every 100 lbs ,its like 10 more hp performance wise!!That is one of the batteries that can be mounted side ways and upside down ??
Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

Yep, any position. I'm actually thinking of mounting one or two under the seats. They would fit there pretty well.

IT'S BA-AAAAAAAAAAAAACK !!!!
I mentioned earlier that my Son and I built a crate last Sunday, and on Monday we FedExed it to a hot rod shop in Orlando to have a bunch of louvers punched in it. Today, FedEx brought the crate back, and we could not be happier with the results. They did a fantastic job of punching 204 louvers in the panel, and got it done in one day.
The owner, Kenny, told me he sweated the whole 8 hours he was punching them, and everyone in the shop knows to leave him alone when he is punching louvers, because he is scared to mess up. He didn't, and his workmanship is top notch.
Now Dan is going to have his inside door panels and some other stuff done, and I am thinking about some stuff on my T and '39 Dodge.
I think the louvers break up the flatness of this panel nicely, and will also vent any air trapped in there, going down the road.
If anyone wants Kenny's name and phone number, PM me. He is one guy I would definitely recommend. Dan tipped him $ 40.00 and he wouldn't take it, and says we have a $ 40.00 credit toward our next louver job. Really a nice, honest businessman.

Several years ago we did quite a good trip of USA, and on our trip we got to meet Mike and Christine Frade. We didn't stay long with them, but in that relatively short time we both gained a great...
