any place on the block or ****** is fine. closer to your battery ground/chassis ground is best - and away from heat. leave some flex. protect with high-temp split loom. there are usually unused threaded holes to use in the block or housing. i don't use bolts that are used for brackets.

I was told there is no need to do the ****** cause it is grounded through the motor. I'd rather still do the ****** if there is any possible benefit

Hes saying you can use either the engine block or the ******, not that you have to use both.
