lithium ion car and motorcycle batteries

I am going for a sleeper street car. Trying to get the weight out of the front end to get it closer to a 50/50 weight distribution.

The intent is to have it appear as somewhat restored stock. I will be running a mini denso alt, denso mini starter, aluminum A-833, aluminum bellhousing, alum heads and intake, alum water pump, alum radiator. I am also installing heater delete plates, and leaving this out of the car as well.

I am making aluminum alternator brackets out of 1/8" 7075 T6 sheet stock aluminum for the lighter alternator, and i am looking into using a GM type ll ps pump, on another set of 1/8" aluminum brackets.

I am going to pull a set of inner fender shields out of fiberglass or carbon fiber using my originals as moulds. And could make a nice carbon fiber or fiberglass battery tray if i can mount lighter components in it.

I looked on unlimited fiberglasses website and they have a fiberglass bumper, and bumper brackets that total up to 4 pounds. I can get the bumper spectrachromed and it will look stock. I am going to weigh my front end sheetmetal. AAR fiberglass gave me a quote of 50lbs weight on their street glass front end w latchable hood. So i got to weigh mine and figure out the difference.

I am setting it up with an autocross type suspension setup. I have stock 340 bars. And these with a 1&1/4 hollow front sway bar should be fine with all the weight removed. No need for 1.03 bars.

Curb weight on a 67 notch w V8 topped off with fluids and fuel is 3100 lbs. I am trying to get it down to 2600 lbs curb weight.

I like the idea of a computer fan to cool the batteries, thru a hole cut in the battery tray. I was thinking of something like that.
