Battery relocation?

[OIF1VET]

Relocating battery to the spare tire area, bought a terminal block for under the hood and a fuse to put in the wiring, 200 amp I believe. Should I go with the BMR mount even though it won't be nhra legal? Most tracks wouldn't check anyways. If they do I go dry cell. Should I use 1 gage wire? Also what are my choices in kill switches? Anyone have any pics of a 4th gen relocated??

Here's the terminal block and fuse:

Keeping my eye on this - I always wanted to put mine back there just to clean up the engine bay more.

you will have to post pics as you get it done, looks like it will be cool, just not sure what size wires to run.

Well, I heard 1 gage is best, there is a wire kit 2 gage on ebay... How much a diff can it make? When I do it, it will be a info thread with pics and details...

Taylor has a NHRA legal aluminum box with 1 gauge wire. Dont know how you would mount it back there.

Yes, but nothing that is actually built for mounting in the back of our cars. Taylor, Moroso, Allstar are the brands that comes to mind.

moving battery in 3rd gen

first of alll according to the nhra you have to have a sealed box vented with a tube out side the chassis if you look at my pics you can see it i have the moroso plastic box and it sits in the rear well than i ran 1/0 up the right side of the car and to make things easier i have it going to a ford starter relay tie the purple wire to the small pin on the relay and other starter leads to one of the big studs and the other stud run one cable to starter than you just tie the starter leads together the ford relay sits up on the firewall higher so its easy to bump motor over to lash the valves the whole thing is a win win

the tracks will check the box most of the time. They also make you start the car and verify the switch kills the engine
