I'm trying to complete my big 3 right now but my bat (-) to engine block is almost impossible to get to. Is there any alternate places to ground too??

You can't find a single bolt attached anywhere on the motor to utilize?

That's what I'm asking. I wasn't sure if I could use any bolt on the engine block or if it had to be the one that's already connected.

You don't wanna use just any bolt. Find the bolt on the alternator bracket an use that.

I can use a bolt on the alt as an engine block ground?

Yes a bolt that mounts the alt to the motor.

Yes. Best ground is the source of power.

Yes a bolt that mounts the alt to the motor.

So let me make sure I have this right, bat (+) to alt (+), bat (-) to chassis and then bat (-) to bolt on the alt?

Yes

Thanks for all the help man. Where's the best chassis ground at??

At the frame

At the frame

Ok because the current ground is just a bolt through the body of the truck. I will look for a bolt on the frame to use. Thanks again for the help really appreciate it.

Actually, the body is better than the frame. The factory typically grounds the battery to the fender. That's one of the big 3.
