    Not sure if I've posted this before.

    Battery box made from 1" x 2" rectangular tubing.

    It works well in this location.
    I use an Optima nowaday, but the original battery was a DieHard.
    Since it's cool under the body - as compared to the engine compt. - I only had to add water twice in about a 4 year period.

    Cables are no problem.
    There are insulated bulkhead fittings available - Speedway for one - and you can combine standard length battery cables to get to the solenoid/starter.

    Cable from battery to master disconnect switch, cable from switch to supply panel/Ford solenoid under the seat, cable from Ford solenoid to GM solenoid at the starter.
    Works well . . . use the large #1 cable.

    Same deal for the ground cable, ground it several places on the frame and especially ground the engine to the frame.
