Battery relocation under hood

MSD box and Canton coolant overflow bottle.

 

Crappy cell phone pic of overflow bottle. Kind of cluttered but that's what happens when you try to cram 10lbs of crap into a 5lb bag...

 

Thanks. I had to put the can there because I had to delete the stock overflow to make more room in front of the motor.

 

There are a few. Can't remember exactly how many, though. You can see some of them in the pic.

 

Mines so empty on that side

 

This is the best pic I could find when I pulled everything out of my engine compartment. You can kind of see what is beneath the battery tray:


But then I welded plates over the frame rail "channels" in order to smooth everything out. I personally like not having anything but my fuse box on that side of the engine bay, it tends to make things look less 'cluttered' and draw more attention to the engine etc, but to each their own.

 

I just bought a wire tuck manual and it says about moving the battery and I wondered the same thing

 

Nothing! That's the only reason I did a battery relocation. I want to have nothing on either of the fender aprons for a clean look. Previously I had my vortech aftercooler reservoir in that spot though.

 

nothing. looks cleaner, but I agree if one side looks busy its off. now that I have the blower on the pass side its crowded on one and empty on the other. I really dont anything to occupy the space tho.

 

That's the thing I hated the most about a blower setup, there's just soo much crap that runs everywhere, it's almost impossible to make a blower setup look clean and simple.

Here's a pic of how it looks right now.

 

Thanks! Yes sir, I just converted last week. There's a guy on SVTperformance that sells a plug and play COP kit with used coil packs for $200. Well worth the investment IMO.
