Hi guy dos any one know if i can supply power to a distribution block in the engine compartment from the alternator or the starter or as to be strait from the battery? and can i use a #6 wire to supply power?

You can supply it from the alternator or starter. That's how the ignition switch and existing fuse box is supplied.

#6 is pretty big wire - you can use it, but you might have trouble finding a fuse block that has terminals big enough to take it. How much current are you looking to provide? If it's big enough to require a #6 wire I'd be concerned about the system's ability to supply it with everything else running.

Nice looking fuse/distribution panel. I installed a similar one on drivers side fender wall in my car. I think I used a #8 wire to feed the panel from the alternator.
