You should be able to do the job with less then 10 feet of wire. Make sure you get at least 4 gauge. If you want good wire for a good price, check out a local welding supply store, they should have 2 gauge oxygen free copper wire.

you will have problems with the size of the connection terminals for 1/0 on the alternator. I upgraded to a 200A and ran 4 awg to it and the terminal just barely fit. I show a little bit of it on my cardomain page, what year is yours?

I think I am the only one that has posted any pics of it on here that I have seen. If you want to figure out how much wire you would need, use a piece of string or a spare piece of wire to figure out the best way to run the wire and how much you will need.
