A while back my friend Bob M and I discussed this very issue. My thought was when using 12 volts on a 6 volt starter (since it spins so fast and engages harder anyway) to lessen such a hard shock on the starter drive (which can be a bit tough on them) you dont really want such a high CCA battery, say use a 500 versus a big heavy honkin 1000 like you would on a 12 volt system and a 12 volt starter. He thought use a big battery but maybe use slightly smaller gauge battery cables when applying 12 volts on a 6 votl starter to reduce some of the higher kick in torque which can be tough on drives.
THIS IS STRICTLY A GUESS AND A SOMEWHAT EDUCATED OPINION but on a Super C with a 6 volt starter Id say a 500 to maybe 650 CCA 12 volt battery will spin her as fast and long as you should ever need and in my opinion a big heavy honkin 1000 CCA is nottttttttttttt needed and could be real tough on a starter drive (Heck even a 500 CCA will cause her to enage fast n harder then normal and still spin real fast)
