Just a confirmation on the battery group size 12v in the stock under floor location that people have used. 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

Thanks. It’s a good thing to ask. That’s one I completely missed. And it sounds like a higher CCA available.

I used a Group 35 - 9 1/16 L; 6 7/8 W; 8 7/8 T

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.
