Its a little late as i have already purchased the wire 514gm motorcraft from ebay. 14 AWG gauge stranded. The wire previously was 16 and i replaced it with 16 but the new wire has more strands of thinner copper and i dont think it can handle the current when starting as it is getting warm to the touch and is having trouble cranking the engine( engine cranks fine if i bypass the cables). Battery outputs about 9.75 amps total circuit length is about 24 feet including ground at 12.7 volts. Positive cable going to motor and ground going to motor ( not battery cables i believe they are 12 gauge, again replaced the old wire with similar wire) and dont get hot.
