Hope that is big enough. I would have sized the fuse at 500A because of the instantaneous inrush current into the starter. When the solenoid closes and you have a stone cold motor with treacle in the sump, the starter is as good as stalled for a short time. At this point I would expect a peak current in the order of 500A-600A for a very short time.
