Ok, so I am planning out my battery relocation project and I have a quick question... I plan to have the main power wire from the battery run to a Distribution Block which will then split into two other wires, one to the starter, the other to the fuse box. So what gauge wire should I use? I was thinking 2 gauge from the battery to the block, then four gauge from the block to the fuse box and the starter. How does this sound? Oh and what kinda of Distribution Block should I buy? Are there Distribution Blocks that are fused?

I've had good luck with 2 gauge from the battery--no problems for several years now. I used the starter lead I had which was probably 4 guage, but may be less.

2 is large enough, with 1 being what i'd probably go with.

Ok, well thanks for the replies, that was about what I was thinking. I would dare say I will post pics when I finish it, but I have had problems locking down a camera to use, and Im to lazy to go and buy one myself!
