Messy job for sure - I did this to my battery in the RR about 7-8 years ago and cranks over the Hemi with no problems. I tapped the bottom of the posts to secure the terminal lugs but also like the idea of creating the copper sleeves to gain the better fit for standard battery connections. '' Good idea!

Hey Guys,
I have an old Group 27 that I'd like to convert to a modern AGM battery. Any tutorials out there on how to do it, what parts to buy, etc?
Thanks! Do you me convert to a lithium-ion battery and not an AGM battery? AGM is a semi "wet" or flooded battery with an absorbent material between the plates that doesn't leak or spill for the most part as the glass mat maintains the acid inside the battery, Group 27 (and group 24) AGM OE copy batteries have been around for a while (hard to find lately  ) if that's what you're looking for but I think you're for a basically dry and light weight lithium-ion battery or a way to convert an old failed AGM battery case by putting a smaller lithium-ion battery inside. Is this the plan? AGM = Absorbent Glass Mat

Is this the plan? AGM = Absorbent Glass Mat I did not think of a lithium-ion battery, but I suppose that would definitely be better. What I have is a failed repro battery, that is probably a lead-acid one and not AGM. Are you aware of any lithium ones that would do the trick here? Thanks!
