Running the battery cable from the trunk of my EM cobra to the engine compartment was quite a dilemma for me. As stated in an eariler post, the danger of a direct short to ground should not be ignored. For that reason I decided NOT to run my cable along the frame (ground).
I decide to run my battery cable through the fiberglass behind the passenger seat. From there it runs below the passenger side kick plate until it exits the foot box into the engine compartment. My starter solenoid and voltage regulator is mounted to the engine side of the passengers foot box. If you bought the wiring harness from EM all of the wires should fit nicely. My ground wire is connected directly to the frame via the rollbar (inside the trunk). I also have a ground wire from the frame directly to the block.
A trunk mounted solenoid my have it's advantages but having an "always HOT" wire in your engine compartment may be advantagous. I use the always hot side of my solenoid for powering my MSD unit along with my electric fan. This configuration seems to work well for me.
