That's a good idea, batteries in the trunk last a year or so longer due to the cooler temperature.
I was in Beaners car with all the trunk trim out and those flaps wave about like crazy at quite low speeds and sounded like the trunk was full of leaves rustling around.
Why anyone does not just put it in the corner on the passenger sidew of the car I have no idea. There should be a small enough battery to fit on the bottom. Height should not matter in this situation. There is a vent like described by 180, there is a hole on the bottom for drainage if fluid was ever to get in there (hose from gas filling area drains through, there is a place to either hook on or bolt on a strap...
Ohh, And I painted my airboxes and engine cover this morning! Remember to turn the aircompressor on befor you start... I'm a newbie. Another coat is needed on 1 part
