A 27 is too big. A 24 or 74(side post) is what fits the stock tray. You may be able to make some other batteries fit but a good 24/74 is tough to beat. You can start a 350 with 5w30 oil in sub -40 no problem with 800 cca. be careful 24's,27's and 74's come in F models with the posts reversed too. They will work but cables can be a problem. Universal combo post 24's can be made to work but cable lengths are not always optimal and may need to be changed.
