05 Jun EF Transmission Swap and Tucked Battery Box

Backmarker Civic EF Transmission Swap and Tucked Battery Box
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen

The factory fresh R DOT B18C1 lives! Last time we got our swap up and running and now we’re focused on making it drive as well as it looks. This includes swapping out the transmission to something more suited to the job of being a street car that will see some track time and building a custom battery box for what we think might be the best bang for the buck battery for tuck mounting, the Xtreme 24HL-BS 12V 21Ah 350CCA AGM Powersport Battery. Brian shows the differences between this and the Odyssey and Duracell powersport batteries that are popular for this modification.
