Trunk Mount Batt. Opinions needed

I was having a hard time with mine. I put lugs for ground on the frame in a few spots, ran #1 welding cable to starter, ran #4 from alt to shutoff back to battery. I also have a big diesel battery. All of these together made the difference. No issues now. I was draining the battery every time I drove, hard, slow crank when hot. Now is all good. I should add, 440, trick flow 240, quench motor, powermaster starter buried in TTI 440-200. I heard lots of timing talk, but it didn’t crank with the ignition off either

Your Symtoms sounds like mine.TTI were fun changing my starter lol. I think I may try testing at front of car as suggested also . It won't cost me to try until I can get some help diagnoising . Three people built this car me,myself,and I with exception to the motor( machining and assembly).I'm not great with electrical but took my time and thought I got it right. But yes a little too much thinking out of the box at times.
