Question on big 3 engine ground

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

Well im about to put my truck on air bags next month and i will have to do some relocating of a few things under the hood so i can layout on 22s. well im going to relocate my battery to the bed of my truck. this brings up the question. i can run the alternator wire to the bed and ground the battery to the fram of the truck in the back. however there is a ground to engine block what should be done about this? it would be such a long run from the engine bay to the back of the truck especially for a ground. what should be done? ground it to the engine anyways or just forget about it? or ground it twice to the frame?

A ground is a ground, as long as it is hooked up to a good place on your chassis, then you should be good to go. Have fun with the bags, always wanted to do that...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Thats right as long as the engine is connected to the battery in some way like

battery to chassis

chassis to engine that way it is a loop and everything is connected back because it all flows through one another.
