moving the battery to the rear and generally cleaning uo the engine bay wiring on a 83 D-150.
will have a 0 to 1 gauge in from the battery, a 4 gauge from a relay center, a 4 gauge from the starter and a 8 gauge from the alternator to bring together.
would a stinger box such as this one be durable, weatherproof enough work in an engine bay for this application? I know I could just go with a stud and use ring terminals to bring these together. Thinking the distribution block could look more high tech, question is would it last?

Why not upgrade all of your wires...IE...the 8g running from the alternator(the big 3)...?? remember the sum entering must equal the sum leaving(gauge of the wires) There might be some corrosion...just make sure your connections are TIGHT! Whether its lube or protectant spray , just make sure you treat it... Theres really not much to those dist blocks... A set screw is tightened to hold the wire...This might rust...Stopping you from removing later...And introducing resistance/bad connection...!

Go slow and drink lots of water...Procrastinators' Unite...Tomorrow!
is there a distribution block that is more weather / corrosion resistant,, or are all of these mainly targeted to audio connections and assumed to be inside the vehicle in the trunk or passenger compartment?
not familiar with the input = output concerning wire gauge, of coures this is not my trained area of expertiese, I have more of a QE / Statistical background. Am I correct that the only down fall on oversizing wire gauge is wasted money, weight and install hassels?
