Default 2002 C5 Battery Box Dimensions

I am looking at going from a 75/25 Redtop to a 34/78 Red Top in my 2002 Vette. Looks like the width and Height are very close. But the length on the 34/78 is about 3/4 of an inch longer. Does anyone have the actual measurements for a 2002 battery box??
thanks

For reference, I'm running this group 78 battery in my '01:

Don't know that you need the actual dimensions of the battery box/tray, but 34/78 should fit your car.

Slightly off topic, has anyone used an Antigravity battery? I use one on my old Harley and am looking to replace the one in my Vette. Not a track car however I do see they offer one for a pretty big pile of dough.

I have one in my KTM500 and I have their X-1 Jump Box I have used numerous times to charge my phone and jump my Van one time. Good stuff but pricey. Having the BMS that shuts the battery down to keep it from draining is a nice feature.
