I don't need a how-to for relocating the battery. This is just a question of an alternate wiring scenario.
Since I'll have the engine out of the car for a while, I was playing with the idea of relocating the battery to the trunk. I see everybody using distribution blocks to run a wire from the positive battery terminal to the alternator, starter and fuse box.
What I was thinking was running a ground from the engine to chassis and from the battery to the chassis. Then (since the positive cable has to be run through the car to the engine bay anyway and the wiring is already there) just connect the positive wire to the the end of the harness already in the engine bay. No distribution block and no rewiring needed.
Or is there too much of a safety concern or something that I'm too naive to understand?
P.S. I hate wiring, which is why this solution came to mind.
