Battery Holder Assistance
Hey folks, I need help. I have put a 351W in my "50 F-1 and need to find a battery holder. My plan is to mount it to the passenger side firewall. Any suggestions on a donor vehicle?

I made my own out of 1/8 x 1 inch angle iron and mounted it to the passenger side firewall. It's not hard. The angle iron will outlast any donor vehicle battery box and you can custom make it the exact size for the battery you are using so as to take up as little space as possible.

Thanks all. 49Willard - I thought of that but the 351 takes up some space and do not think it will fit. The one on my truck was in bad shape at the tray area so I canned the whole thing. Should have kept it because they are very expensive. Too bad I am new at this!!!!

I think willards right. The battery hold down should work on the passenger side. I think jimhackney's is that way.
