Default Battery Relocation

I want to relocate my battery to the rear of the car. Reason being I want to relocate my coils and ignitor to where the battery is. I have a duct on my hood and its right over the coils and all plus i cannot turn on my head lights. So i need to relocate. The reason why it was done like this was because it was the easiest way to get the car started and tuned. I was going to install to where the windshield washer fluid was located but i do not want to drill holes as this car will be driven in the rain. From my understanding all of the right hand drives have the battery in the back from factory. I cant find anything on it. I have a picture so you can see what i am talking about.

I am open to other suggestions as well

Thanks

If you had bothered to search for it, there are a few threads on how to use the search function.

Get the biggest wire you can that is still flexible. Hook that up to the wires up front run the wires down the torque tube tunnel. Maybe put some wireloom around them for extra protection then run that up into the spare tire well. From there put in a battery box from summit racing or jegs.

Post of the week!

I make sure I've searched every inch of RL, RW, 944OL, Pelican, and the National Archives before I ask questions!

I was also thinking of getting a smaller blower and putting the coils around there.
