I've installed a Breeze battery box for my Mk4 roadster build with a Coyote. I'm getting close to installing the engine. Can you recommend (or suggest) what kind of battery to get and where to get it? Thanks in advance!

The Optima yellow top is a perfect fit
The Breeze front battery mount is designed for a Group 51 size battery. Coyote doesn't affect the choice. There are multiple options, but agree the Optima yellow top is an excellent choice. Just make sure to get the 8071-167 D51 version. It has the positive terminal on the proper side to not get close to the x-member. Several have had issues with inadvertent shorts with the 8073-167 D51R version or other group 51 batteries with a similar configuration.

Thank you for the replies and suggestions. A battery has been ordered (the Optima edwardb suggested). I can't wait to give this thing a try, it's gonna be great!
