I figured I would just answer your PM here so everybody could see it. I've had a "small battery kit" (read tractor battery) and an optima located in the trunk, I like having the battery in the trunk more than I did the small battery up front. I like having my battery in the trunk because if you trap 135+ you're supposed to have a cut off switch anyways no matter where the battery is, frees up space in the engine bay, its really hard to drop a wrench on a battery when its in the trunk, and makes it one less thing to get in the way when pulling the motor.
This was the custom front battery mount I had. It bolted up to where the stock battery support bolts up, but it sat right on the frame rail. I only had it for a couple months in the summer and always started the car just fine.
Here is the setup for the trunk. Just a Jegs battey relocate kit, a Taylor box, and an optima battery. Its a lot more weight than the small kit but its nice having a full sized battery too. The switch is behind the license plate, so with it on nobody knows whats behind it. I've also never been questioned about its location when going through tech at the track either.
And this is how it was when I actually had a stock trunk floor
Hope that helps a little with all my rambling.

I really want to come, but my sister has something going on and I don't know if I'll be able to make it. If I can't you're more than welcome to come take a look at it whenever you want to see how I ran the wires or what not!
