Indeed it is... You can wire the battery directly off of the alternator + terminmal if you like though.... Just make sure your ECU + feed is still connected too. Dead easy mod though.

You will also need to ground the engine to the chassis, just run an earth strap from the engine to the suspension turret.

Yep, or any metal on the chassis in fact.
