Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
I will likely have to duplicate your battery mount. My turbo et al is totally in the way of everything.
Any thoughts or recommendations if you were to do it again?

as far as the battery mount, so far so good. Obviously it's a summer cruiser only so not worried about cables and stuff getting trashed. probably worst scenario is if It ever needed to be jump started I would be on my hands and knees....but so what? |

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
Not to highjack but here is what I did so I dont have to crawl under my truck. It will be mounted under my raised bed floor so I can access it by opening my tailgate. The posts were a few bucks off Amazon.

Beyond that, the worst thing is having to lie on the ground if I wanted to help jump-start someone. Easy enough on a dry day.... Not so when it's wet or worse. My 64 will also have the battery under the bed floor but I'm making access via the floor a priority as I do the floor. There's also the remote terminal pods that can be used as well but I'm going to do my best @ keeping things simple w/what's there as my first option.

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
Ok, now i really like this. What is this called and where did you get this, or did you make this? I have a battery mount under the cab and would like to have a good Jump point if i ever need it.

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
Ok so i did some research and found these, looking for remote Batter jump start and found them. I like this idea and will be "Borrowing it" lol. I really like this layout and will do something like this but i am also looking at installing the (positive) jump start cable end into a formed piece of metal (Positive) then mount that to the truck BUT i am looking at mounting it with insulating rubber bushings to separate it as must as possible from shorting out. We all know what fun could be had if the positive shorts out.....

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
I made mine but Hart Fab on here makes something similar:
https://hart-fab.com/collections/fro...ination-pocket Here is what I got off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fastronix-Pre...NsaWNrPXRydWU= Or you can get it premade (though I am sure you can make it yourself): https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Charg...s%2C253&sr=8-4

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
Have you gentlemen considered Anderson connectors?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AODOOR-Conn...508347&sr=8-21 As Woody's fuel tank is now in the rear, and I plan on relocating the battery to behind the passenger rear wheel, I have purchased a set of these plugs to put into the fuel filler to jump start/trickle charge the battery without having to get under my truck. Used these a lot in my motorsport career as they have the added advantage of not having any 'hot' exposed terminals. Seem slightly safer than the units mentioned above PLUS race car. P. ![]()

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
Those Anderson connectors are what I want to use. Have a fitting under the hood, and then craft up jumper cables that plug into it.
You're saying race car, but when I see those, I think forklift. ![]()

Re: Eric's 1966 Turbo 6.0 build
The downside is, as you said Jeff, you need to carry a set of jump leads with the Anderson connectors. My solution to that is to have another set of leads with the opposite Anderson connector on so, plug them together and you have a standard set of jump leads.
Yes, I know it is more stuff to carry about but... It makes me happy! P. ![]()

update: Up to 800 miles and got it on the rollers yesterday. About 650 on E85. Oil pressure was a little low so I'm replacing the pump this winter and we will see if I can push it a little more. I can confirm that 650 is MORE than enough! |
