Wouldn't it be easier to get a longer positive battery cable, available at any parts store, and move the starter relay closer to the starter?

A 71-72 B-body small block positive battery cable is about 6"-7" longer than the big-block version.

you must be new here ...
John knows me well, I wouldn't move my relay and I hate to use a generic cable. The small block one suggested may work will have to do some measuring.
Any other thoughts?

Pretty straightforward to make what you need. NAPA carries the heavy cable, ends and shrink wrap. Measure, crimp, solder and shrink wrap makes a durable and neat looking cable.

On my '63 B, I ran the cable to the front of the engine and down and behind the motor mount and header. Much cleaner if you haeve the room. Not necessarily a stock look but the dipstick and motor mount aid in keeping it up against the block and away from the header.

If you're going to fabricate one to resemble your stock part, use ultrafine welding cable, it's better. S/F...Ken M
