What Battery For The Engine?

[Jamo]

I'm going to replace the engine battery in my '89 Chieftain with a Chevrolet 454.  Anything special I should get or ask for?

Will it fit on that tiny battery shelf?  454's are pretty big!

Since they put these batteries in so many different places the best thing to do is measure the space you have and get a battery that fits the space. I say that but use common sence, if you have a huge space you do not need a 6D truck battery! A group 24 battery is just fine. Modern batteries are pretty powerful.

The biggest that will fit, from a quality manufacturer, with the correct style terminals, in the correct place on the battery for your vehicle.  That's what I would do.
