Man its been some time that I've thought about Ford wiring but I'm guessing that when you turn the key from run/start to run no voltage to the starter?
So if the battery is in the trunk (12' per the original post) you could over kill and run a 4 gauge cable depending on your alt amps and electrical stuff on your hot rod project.
On my LS projects I run a 6 gauge cable from the starter lug to the alternator. Its hot 12 volt all the time. No fuses or breakers. Never had an issue.
Times 2 on the quality cable. I buy welding cable from NAPA. Welding cable has fine strand cable. Parts stores have large strand cable. Not good.
Now at NAPA you can't get the welding cable in red. So I buy red shrink wrap and cut it up in chunks to show its 12 volt positive.
