Relocating the battery to the engine bay video

[MikeD]

As part of Phil's winter maintenance, he decided to move the battery to the engine bay. (from the trunk)
Mine has been in my engine bay since I built it, 19 years ago.

We made a video, because we're having fun doing that this winter.

Nice video. It’s always nice when people have something to refer to when modifying their car. As a side benefit, I’m betting you still have a rear weight bias and lowering the battery in the chassis is helpful for overall center of gravity.

You are correct about the rear weight bias, if my memory is correct. We weighed our cars back in 2006: Phil's 302 FFR was 2186, My 351W FFR was 2307lbs. And I'm almost certain my car was slightly rear heavy. I have a solid rear axel with 3.27 gears and 3 link.

Thanks for watching my video and commenting!
