Wherever you get your wire and connectors look at getting marine grade. The wire will have a higher strand count which makes it more flexible and will be tinned copper which prevents corrosion. And the terminals will be tinned to prevent corrosion.

Thanks guys, that should do it.

First off I need some kind of connector for the starter so I can put 12" or so leads on it before it goes on the engine

Brian, are you talking about a connector & terminals for the wire to the small stud on the starter solenoid?

Ed, I'm looking for something like this that can stand the heat from the headers, maybe it's good enough.

Brian, the way I have done it for the past twenty years is to jumper those terminals on the solenoid, use a Ford remote solenoid mounted in an easy to reach place on the inner fender, or firewall. To disconnect for pulling the engine, etc, just pull the starter cable from the solenoid. The small wire to the original solenoid, of course, now goes to the new Ford solenoid. Easy to get the short cable off the Ford solenoid to pull the starter, or engine. Has worked well for me, for many years. Hope this helps.

Ed, I appreciate the info. Do you have a p/n or application for the solenoid?
