I purchased a battery relocation kit from Jegs. Came with a plastic box cable etc. I ran my cable on the inside of the rockers into the trunk.
I did have to make my own mountings though... I think there are pics of it in my progress thread. Look at the signature for the link. |

I used welding lead. It's oversized to be sure, but I know it is more than capable of carrying the amps. I ran my cable under the fuel tank, through the center tunnel and around the engine with the rest of the original harness. I exited the engine compartment at the drivers side rear and then goes directly to the starter. I extended all the other large gauge red leads up to the front to connect directly to the battery positive terminal. (I suppose I could have landed them at the starter terminal and saved some wire.).
I put my battery in a plastic marine case. (I'm too cheap for the Optima battery) Attached image(s)
