Not sure when they did that, I've had 67,68,69,70,71,72, & 85 Camaros and the battery was in the engine compartment, except the 67 that I moved to the rear because I raced it. Dodge Journey battery is in the front fender well, and Ford Transit is under the drivers seat. The Transit wasn't that difficult to replace, I did have to pull the seat. Journey manual said you didn't need to remove the wheel, but they lied. I had to replace the heater core in the Journey and you are supposed to take out the console and tear the dash completely down. The core slides right out sideways, but the pipes go through the firewall so it won't slide out. Engineer didn't think that through and screwed that one up good. It is tight, but it is possible to cut the pipes on the old one in place and on the new one, slide the old one out, slide short pieces of heater hose and clamps over the old stubs coming through the firewall then slide the new one in and slide the short pieces of hose over the new cores cut pipes. It isn't a recent phenomenon though, on 67 & 68 Camaros the fender well is in the way of removing the heater blower and the bumper mount has to be removed to get the fender well out and of course that means the bumper also needs to be removed. We would cut a hole in the fender well and patch it when done. The manual said to remove the motor mount and jack up the motor to replace the middle 2 spark plugs on the 70's v8 Monza. Holes in the fender wells mysteriously appeared. Other random oddities I have personally ran across: Some 66 Ford Galaxies had chevy front U joints because of a fire in the factory where the U joints were made, a lucky few 69 Chevy 327's had 4 bolt mains because they ran out of seasoned 2 bolt main castings and used the new 350 0010 block, 69 Pontiac Firebirds with 350 and 4 speed had Ford top loader transmissions and an aluminum bell housing that had Ford and GM transmission mounting holes and a slot and pivot bolt position on both sides of the bell housing. My 64 427 Galaxie police interceptor had 59 Edsel dashpots on the carbs, at least one set of medium riser heads made it on a production 64 Ford 427 police interceptor (although Ford denied it) and they had a Ford cam that had no production numbers but was a FoMoCo casting and had more lift and duration than it was supposed to have (again Ford denied it). I so wish I still had that engine, but I dropped it into a tube frame Vega wagon I built and ended up selling it.
I finally ordered that Steamcrave AIO kit. The thought of buying it or not was just comsuming too much of my time.
Ordered from Element, credit card to China scares me.

The credit card company takes the hit if it is a scam. That is why I don't worry about using a credit card because you never have to pay for it. The only downside is they cancel your CC and issue you a new card. Now another twist, in the fine print of almost all CC TOS contract says you can't purchase e-cigarettes. So if I try to order from Steam Crave directly with a CC, it never gets approved (as all they sell is e-cigarettes) and won't work.
Shake n Bake chicken legs cooking now. My wife scrubbed the numbers off the stove with Scotchbrite so this is my "guide"
(it worked before)
I really like reading when the jacks fail and the thieves are found DEAD under the vehicles. Karma's a biatch.
That is such a sacrilege! What is wrong with people today? Think of all of the disappointed kids!
Btw, I know the driver of the Wienermobile eats at Superdawg's. Where they are too high class to use Oscar Mayer products.

Anybody heard from Mike since December?
I finally cleaned the cat hair from my computer filter screens tonight, a never ending battle. It was nice and clean on the inside.
