you can get relocating cables from any real auto parts place... just find a way to mount it in the trunk and run the power cable back up front.

i've got a marine battery box that im going to use .. should make things a little easier

Just make sure if you run at a track, you need to get an external shutoff. Otherwise they won't allow you to pass tech. Some tracks may let you slide. However, if it is an IHRA/NHRA track, they won't.

You will need larger cable than factory (4awg works well)
Get Monster Cable--will do the job and plenty of parts available.
If you run dual batteries you will need a battery isolator. You can get one with shutoff for drag.
A great place to get battery parts used to be Dixie Trailer sales in Newport news. They do a lot of Battery wiring for the motorhomes they sell.......good luck

Get the Summit $45 kit, it's the best bang for the buck, and comes with all the hardware and wire you need, however if you plan to do any NHRA or IHRA racing, you need to get the $100 or so kit, because it's not allowed to vent inside the cabin.
