What battery do you guys recommend for Ontario winters. I am putting it into a 78 f150 with 302.

They are all pretty much the same. Cold cranking amps would be one of the first things to look at. Battery dimensions also play a roll. So it is actually what you are running that will be drawing power. I have friends using Optimas, some are running Interstate etc. Pops.

I've had good luck with the batteries from Costco. I also like the fact you can choose one with a recent manufactured date (just check the sticker ... they are usually the ones at the back of the rack).
