Finding a 00 battery cable to run to the starter can be difficult. But you can go to Napa and buy the cable, and then some ready to solder copper connectors. They have solder and flux inside of them - just stick the copper wire in and heat the connector with a propane torch. Just remember to buy the lead connector on the other end in "ground/negative" size. The ground and hot connectors I looked at Napa were slightly different sizes, and the hot one wouldn't fit on the negative side. This made a huge difference on the cranking ability of my starter, and eased the load on the battery.
