Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
Thanks Bill.
Well, sure enough I put the battery in just like I wanted. I ran 4gauge all the way back, and grounded the battery against the wheel well, then grounded the motor to the radiator frame support, and fender for now. I'll run more later.
I hooked everything back up, and started it. No issues. I re-used the battery tray itself for now and drilled 4 new holes in it in all corners and bolted it down, then the battery is mounted to that just as it was in the engine bay.
Good thing I used to do 12v audio installs so I knew exactly how to handle this. $60 worth of wire though, that's 20feet of red, and 2 feet of brown 4g.
Took about 4 hours. That included finding the wire and going to hardware store for materials to bolt the tray down - Napa wound up having the wire in the end.
