Shouldn't be too tough, but you'd have to buy an Optima or other fully sealed battery first. You can't use your regular battery inside the passenger cabin as the fumes are dangerous.
You will also need to find space for AT LEAST 4 gauge power cable to run to the front. If you have a C900, this shouldn't be too much of a problem, but does involve pulling up the door sils and pushing back some carpet on the passenger side of the car. There should already be an opening from the cabin to the engine compartment on the passenger side, used for several other large power cables. It is a rubber sleeve secured with a zip tie, as I remember. You really do need a big cable as making it too small will result in reduced charging of the battery and poor cranking power. For safety, you need a fuse both at the battery end and the engine end. Otherwise, you risk fires if the cable shorts to ground somewhere inbetween.
