Default Moving Battery to trunk

I'm ready to install the 347 stroker I've been building and because I used the serpentine belt setup from a 93 5.0 HO Tbird the alternator will not clear the battery.

So the battery will have to go in the trunk.

Let me hear the pitfalls and all the horror stories with problems. I've never been real keen on putting a battery in the trunk, because of the length of the positive cable run. But, lots of cars are coming from the factory with them installed there.

Besides a hefty positive cable, which I'm running inside along the door sill plate. Running good grounds to the body and from the body to the engine. What else??

I hate to do this, but don't see any other way around it.

I'm open for suggestions, etc.
