What Speedy said, plus I would add a "keyed" battery disconnect switch for working convience and security. Make sure you also run a ground strap from the engine back to the frame.

I've said this before, I think, but anyway, I put a Ford solenoid right beside the battery, and a cable from it to the starter. A smaller wire then powers the rest of the car. That way, the big cable is only live when cranking, much safer, and harder for the lowlifes to find a live connection and hotwire it, especially when you aren't running a hood.

I placed the batter y just behind the seat. Ran the negative to the frame and then drilled 2 holes in the frame. One at the top near the battery and the other near the starter. Ran the + cable to a disconnect then through the frame to the starter.

I ran the cables out the passenger side of the trunk, the - cable was grounded to a frame bolt while the + cable went to a junction box (so it could be jumped from underneath if necessary) and then on to the starter. The junction box came from a 2005 Silverado.
