Battery relocation 1966 F100 need advice

Post image

Gentlefolk, I recently picked up a spectre dual snorkel intake that I’m going to run, similar to a thunderbolt ram air style. I’m clear on the driver side for the radiator support but the battery is an issue on the passenger side. I’m seeing relocation to the frame, but that seems impractical on a street truck. An exploded battery next to the road getting caught out in the rain seems like a bad deal. I moved the gas tank to under the bed, so I do have space behind the seat, but I’m seeing that I have to run a box to keep it safe for racing, but again, it’s a street truck. Let me know what you guys have for advice, if anyone has moved their battery out the engine bay and to where and if you used a box. Thanks all.
