Re: Engine to frame ground
This is how I ground my motors...

Re: Engine to frame ground
I bought straps on Amazon and put them where the FSM showed for a 6 cylinder

Re: Engine to frame ground
As said above you cant have too many good grounds. I go from battery to engine block. Then engine to frame with heavy gauge cable.
Then frame to cab on both sides with 6 gauge cable using ring terminal and heat shrink. Then radiator to frame with 6 gauge like the cab. Then frame to box for good tail light grounds. Also if you have a rear mounted gas tank/fuel pump they need good grounds. My builds are LS swaps and they demand good grounds. |

Re: Engine to frame ground
Back when I was having hot start problems, one of the things I did was to run the battery ground cable directly to a starter motor mounting bolt. I'd have to go back and see if that actually helped. The reasoning is sound, though. A little resistance here, a little resistance there...when you're running a lot of amps, it makes a difference.
