Yes, you can do it. The starter soleniod will still be up front and you can power w/e you need to off of that. Mine is set up like that.

Yep, you don't connect the MSD box to the battery terminals.

I put my msd where my battery was, then ran a new cable to the back from the solenoid and put the battery in a new box in back

The reason I didn't do that was I didn't want to have to run a bunch of extra wiring to the front for the MSD. 1 cable up for the battery was all that was needed.

You can connect it to the positive side of the starter solenoid, it's the same thing.
