On my 51 with a 350. I’ve found 26 will fit, but 21 is a bit taller and could work. CCA would vary by manufacture but am looking for real world experiences.
Thanks. Chip

And it sounds like a higher CCA available.

I did add some relief to the battery hold down near the terminals just to feel better about how close the metal frame was to making contact with the battery posts.
