Yes, you can run the hot cable lead directly from the battery to the starter.
You could also run a ground wire from the battery to a starter mounting bolt.
I have done this.
Use at least a 1 gauge cable and ground straps/cables.
I use 00 gauge.
However, you can also successfully use the original style/length cables and original attachment points, if you use the heavy gauge cables/straps (all ground straps) AND if you clean all attachment points until you have shiny metal.
Coat all all connection points (protect from oxidation) with an antioxidant conductive grease. That copper-colored grease is readily available in small tubs/jars at most auton stores. | | |
