If you're really serious about pursuing this, convert your car to a trunk-mounted battery. This was a popular thing to do with c900s and 99s. Besides getting whatever size battery you want, you gain airspace under the hood (maybe helping it stay cooler for electronics like the DIC), extend battery life by reducing temperature and vibration stresses, and slightly improve the car's weight distribution. The downside is that you have to route some really big cables through your car to do it.
A block heater and 0w30 synth oil are probably all you need. They are Swedish, you know!
