Shoot a PM to Insanity on the forum. He recently did the relocation and could probably send you some pictures.

I have my battery located in the right side rear well. I had a plate welded to the frame under the plastic box and used two 3/8 threaded rods for hold-downs...............It passed tech at Moroso and at Super Chevy at Bradenton.

I'm running a set-up very similar to what c5man99 describes. The battery is in a Moroso sealed box. It fits in the car with room to spare. The disconnect switch rod (push off) goes through the bottom of the right inboard tail light - a very clean installation. Be careful how you secure the battery cables. There's not a lot of clearance between the cables just above the right exhaust pipe. a little asbestos wrap in this area provides an extra safety factor.

Exotic Muscle sells a kit for Corvettes.
I'm about to do the relocation myself.
I'm waiting to hear if it's enclosed or not.
