Actually since you moved your engine bay cansiter already...Did you find any gas inside of yours? I just took mine out last night and shook it around and it was almost 1/4 full of gas... Is this normal?
Im probably going to lower my canister like you did and put in a small battery in that spot (i cant run a battery to the back of the car unfortunately.
Ive been playing with the idea of moving the fuse panel as well ( cant put it behind the strut tower as i have a 100amp circuit breaker..
im in the middle of doing a 5speed swap and motor change
So far its been straight forward
