Just wanted to share some information I came across. I was looking for the "correct" way to mount my battery in the trunk since the way I have it currently is not NHRA legal and is giving me voltage drop issues. Here is the article I found and a diagram (if I knew how to upload it) I drew to help for you visual people (like me) out there. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-to/interior-electrical/m5lp-0210-trunk-mounted-battery-install/" target="_blank">Trunk-Mounted Battery Install - 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords Magazine</a><br /><br />From the way it's laid out I am going to run the 1/0 wires through my sub-frame connectors and to the alternator and starter on the passenger side and the 14g. wire through the car/under carpet to the back where the solenoid is. Everything else pretty much stays where it is ans since I cleaned up my engine bay the solenoid is currently under the fender, which is a PITA to get to if it goes out. Now it will be in the back, probably behind the plastic panel in my hatch...clean and tucked away. <br /><br />Here is the link to the Junction Block and subsequent wiring as well (if you need it - maybe cheaper to get the wires elsewhere though): <a href="http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/cn-1.shtml" target="_blank">Catalog</a><br /><br />Enjoy!<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2014-10-21, 12:37 AM: Message edited by: 306Guy ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
