If you relocate the battery be careful. I moved the battery to the back of my '71 cutlass, thought I had the cables routed safely, ran them inside the car. The positive cable got pinched, started a short, killed the engine, started a fire near the back seat
Be real careful.

You probably should find a place in the engine compartment, maybe the opposite side it is on now. Disconnect the ground cable first, then the positive cable, remove the battery, relocate the tray, use rope to measure the length of cable you will need, route the rope as you would the cable, that way you get the correct length if you are buying pre-fabricated cable lengths. Then install the positive cable, last install the negative cable, battery post first, block ground last (unless it is near a fuel line or something). The idea is to make sure the spark created by the connection is away from any fire source. Come to think of it, with the new non-maintnenance batteries that don't vent off gases, it might be ok to connnect the negative battery terminal last. Be sure to take care when you choose the route for your cables. Good luck.

yea i looked at it and i can't relocate the battery to the other side of the egnine compartment cause the coolent and the windshield washer stuff is there. i was wondering if there is a web site that sell the battery relocater kit that is universal so i can put it in my trunk. thanks i hope you guys can help me. rusty

Wait...how did we get on the topic of mounting a battery in the trunk, when this topic is supposed to be about cold air intakes....

He needs to move his battery to get a good spot for his cold air intake...

Instead of moving the battery (especially to a silly place like on the passenger seat ) I would cut a hole in your hood for cold air. Better yet, remove the hood all together, it's merely cosmetic, and only provide aerodynamic benefits otherwise.

(ok ok... so the hood thing wasnt such a great idea)

that's a good one, I saw an article once where some guys were trying to reduce weight on a CRX or something to improve 1/4 mile times. Anyway, they started with little things but ended up with nothing but the frame and four space saver tires, they even took a sawzall to the back of the frame from the rear wheels back! It was real funny.

I'm actually thinking about doing a ram-air kind of thing with my car.. i have a ..well.. its not a hood scoop at all.. but with a sawzall and a welder it will be..bwahahah.. you guys are gonna crap your pants...but here goes.. you know on your dryer.. you look inside..you see the heater coil with that little metal thing with the holes in it?..well, if you ever taken apart a dryer.. it looks like itll make a handy dandy little hood scoop..ill try to get pics..

definately, i'd love to see your hood scoop... why not pick up air from the bottom of the car? Much easier!

Well, heres my reason.....we got 2 feet of blowin' snow.. point made. LOL

2 feet??? wow! thats some decent acumulation!

I'd almost suggest you build an intake stack, like on those off road jeeps, that take air in above the windsheild

a snorkel on an olds?! .... I'd pay to see that

I'd kill someone if I saw that
