FWIW, I think the rule of thumb was that moving a 45lb. battery from in front of the front wheels to behind the rear wheels had the same effect as moving the engine back 2". It seems like a free lunch to me. I read in one of the Jegs or Summit catalogs I get that Holley was making a full size battery that weighed under 20lbs. I haven't seen one in person but if I needed a battery today, I definitely look into it. Vince
