    Engine ground wire location points

    Hi.

    I need to know where the main grounding points are for the engine block.

    I'm doing a 3B swap and I don't think I have grounded the block enough.

    Can anyone tell me where the wire connects to the block and the chassis???


    THanks

    The block is grounded on one of the sump bolts under the starter motor. The other end of the cable goes to the nearest point on the chassis, behind the oil cooler somewhere IIRC.
    Don't forget the ground points on the inlet manifold.

      What about a wire running from the where the engine mounting bracket bolts to the block and then to some point on the chassis?

        I guess anywhere near the starter mounts would be a good idea.

          Anyone know the size of the engine ground originally?
          If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
