that sux man . i would just say pull that battery and make a new location for your battery make it like a custom try somewhere within under the hood.

I know they make a Diehard battery for your car, and im sure theres a duralast gold battery that will fit also.

Theres no place under the hood..lol

relocating it to the trunk would be your best bet.

oh alright well i wasn't sure kinda hard to say w/o pic's here but i would agree with 93 relocate it to the back of the trunk and just make sure it's secured right .

Its a group 75 battery. Exide makes a Orbital Gel Cell in that size iirc. It uses a GM style side post battery. The Exide should have top and side posts on it. Big 3 shouldnt be any different, just longer wires.
