Battery Relocation

I know there has been many threads on this but I can't find the answer to my question.

Can I run the alternator positive wire to the starter? Or will this damage the alternator when cranking due to high amp draw?

Don't exactly understand what you're trying to ask, but...

The starter gets it's power from the battery and not the alternator when cranking.
The alternator only starts to produce power once the engine is running.

Yes, you should be fine, make sure you throw an 150A inline fuse on the feed from the battery. Thats a good idea, its going to minimize the amount of wire you need.
