[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8126173, member: 576029"] all engine blocks are grounded. it's how the circuit is completed. it doesn't have to be accessible so finding it may be a challenge if you don't start removing things. i usually remove the plastic cover panels, intake hosing, the battery, and the battery tray to reveal places to ground and connect wires. not a lot of effort but you need to understand how to do it - maybe start with a Haynes manual. you need access to tools and a socket/wrench set (SAE and Metric). the most important are the two grounds - a ground from battery to chassis and a ground from the engine block (or transmission housing) to the chassis. don't use bolts that are for suspension. don't use bolts that are for brackets. usually you can find empty threaded bolt holes to use. the alt positive is more advanced and requires a fuse holder at the battery. you will need wire, ring terminals, zip ties, and i recommend split loom to make it look like factory.
