I am buying an ef with b16 in it. It has a for the usdm motor and the guy said he didn't put the right intake in cuz he would have to move the battery to make it fit. Can I get away with a smaller lightweight battery to get the clearance I need? or should I move the existing battery?

 

either relocating or the smaller battery trick *i forget what kind of battery off hand* works

 

Im looking at this one, the measurements look good.

I'd move it. Give you lots more room in the bay and inch you closer (although not by much) to that ideal 50/50 balance.
