Try a gear reduction starter if they make them for the 6.9/7.3L and custom battery cables in 2ga, 1ga, 0ga or 00ga.
I was going to do something like this, run a 6 and 8 volt optima (for an alt delete) and regulate down to 14.4v to all the electronic bits. Then I discovered 00ga welding cable and that my suburban had a cheap 4ga battery replacement cable installed.
Now I run LiFePO4 batteries. The larger battery runs on 2ga cable to the starter and the smaller battery runs 4ga to the starter. 2ga+4ga equals something like 00ga or 000ga.
