I understand what you're saying Patrick, however, my engine and transmission are yet to be fitted.... but I have to decide on a location for my battery now, using commonsense, so it's going in the trunk on the passenger side.

On their website, ERA state in their FAQs for the 427 that "Our standard car mounts the battery on top of the passenger's footbox, in approximately the same place as an original street car. Optionally, you can move the battery back into the trunk for more rear weight bias." By your reasoning, are they throwing caution to the wind, and saying "you choose"?

Cheers!
