Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

I like to put them behind the seat on pass side. I run a kill switch under the seat and then directly under cab onto starter, keeps the wires straight. I order 0/2 welding cable and crimp on my own terminals. If you decide to keep battery where it is now. I'd just wrap it with heat shield and you'll be good. You could also turn your muffler 90* and or put another little bend farther up to make it route a few inches closer to driveshaft. If you turn your muffler vertical it gives you more room between frame and driveshaft. You could poss turn your battery 90* also by the looks of it.
