Ian, I just moved mine using the kit from Summit Racing. Pretty nice and pretty
inexpensive ($45 I think?), however I had to get a different battery (narrower)
than the regular battery I had as the box it came with was narrow. You could
easily get a different box. The cable was 0 size as I recall, maybe 2 (?).
They
gave you plenty, plus all the grommets and stuff you would need. I had to cut
the mounting posts down on one in order to not hit the gas tank. The only other
thing I wish I had done was to run a couple of transfer battery posts to the
engine compartment so I could run things like a timing light more easily.
Summit
has them if you want them, and the best prices I could find anywhere.
