Re: Battery Size & Factory Battery box
A stock battery is group 1
Group Size (BCI): 1
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 640 CCA
Cranking Amps (CA): 800 CA
Reserve Capacity (min): 130 Minute
Voltage (V): 6 Volt
Length (In): 9-1/8 Inch
Width (In): 7-1/8 Inch
Height (In): 9-3/8 Inch
Terminal Type: Top Post
This link gives group size and the measurements and if you can decode it the battery post location.

It would be preferable to have the + post at the front next to the frame rail if at all possible.
A group 35 should fit pretty good but the + post would be at the back. you for sure want the battery posts on the frame side of the battery no matter what battery you use.
A group 25 might be worth looking at too.
