51R battery and greddy FMIC
I am still in the process of installing my greddy FMIC and now 90% of the way, the 51R battery I got doesn't fit. It doesn't sit in all the way down with in the stock position...(won't clear the fan shroud) and if I sit it sideways, it rubs up against the fan motor and engine pulley.
Do you guys know if I can get a longer radiator mount? Or a way to fabricate one? If I move it forward, the A/C canister would get crushed??
Any suggestions????

If you park in a garage as I do, attach a trickle charger to it every night and then you will not have any problems with it! Been using them for 4 years and am on only my second battery. Never got strandit.

Here's how I mounted my battery in with my Greddy FMIC. I'm pretty sure it's a 51R.

I put a 51r yellow top in the driver side bin and it did require that I cut the bin but afterwards It worked out great. Just just 4 gauge wire. more than enough to start the vehicle and easy to wire in a system. Any on top of that I have left the vehicle without starting it for 2 months and she started right up. Great battery.
