Hey folks,

I thought about an Optima but it might be too much $$ for me,

I am thinking about putting in a group 65 battery in my fox body and it looks like it might fit (spec wise, reading from Exide's web page), since it is about 2 in longer and 1/2 in higher, anyone know?

Well I guess I will answer my own post..IT FITS and with 1000 Cranking amps, it turns right over. Anyone want a free Motorcraft group 58 with life left in it (it is 3 years old) for local pickup in Orange County?
