Battery Cables and Battery Relocation?

About to pull the trigger on ordering everything I need for the battery relocation.

My intention is to move the battery to the left side of the toolbox.

Positive will go to a battery disconnect located on the box and then run to the engine bay across the box, through the box/bed, and up the right frame rail.

Ground will run across the box, through the box/bed, and go to frame.

I plan on adding a Ford starter solenoid on the firewall as well. I have not had any issues with heat soak on the starter but it makes for cleaner wiring I think.

My plan is to run 1/O cable on all runs described above and I should have plenty of room for it. From the starter solenoid to the actual start solenoid I will likely reduce cable size to a 1AWG if I think routing the 1/O around the headers and such will be too difficult.

Thoughts? Am I crazy to run 1/O?
