Battery Relocation
The alternator will not be capable of supplying power if the rotor can't get electricity, or if the ignition is cut and the engine stops.
One method is diagramed here.
The methods discussed there avoid the need for a high current continuous duty relay.
If you like that, but also want the starter cable killed, that's discussed too.
There is also discussion and photos on how to disconnect the heavy cable to the starter in that thread and others.
Read the explanation of how alternators work in the Identifying Chrysler Alternators thread.

questions about battery disconnect wiringDel, Is this what you are saying? Use the original 'run' feed to control a relay, and power the ignition etc through the relay?
The alternator output could also go direct to the relay.

It keeps the big cable to the starter off. Only when the key switch goes to start does the solenoid get the power to connect it to the battery cable.
This is basically @crackedback's schematic - I just moved things around so it was easier for me to read.
