AC delco have a 430 CCA should fit in the engine bay

no... to using two batteries bridged together

you can bolt in a larger amp output ford alternator
if required swap the alternator multi pulley back to the single V pully

yes you can buy a battery boot relocation kit for the capi V6

if you want to run big sounds more doof doof and electrics might be a good idea
Well the challenge I have is that I can't fit a big battery in the space I am using. The guy at battery world said I could bridge two identical batteries and double the CCA rating automatically.

This would allow me to get about 660cca instead of 490cca with a single battery but it would cost twice the price and if 490cca would be ok for a v6 starter then I will just get a single battery.

Amp hours capacity isn't so much an issue for me because I'm not running many accessories and the stereo will be modest.
