im grounding my block to the frame for my chassis to engine ground, i put the strap on the back of the block to the firewall, and a 4 gauge ground from my passenger side motor mount to the sway bar bracket. the battery is grounded to the trunk.

few questions...

do you think a 4 gauge wire be good enough for my chassis ground?

is what i have enough? should i put a ground from the drivers side motor mount to the drivers side frame?

ground strap to block, other side goes to firewall

I would run a 4 ga wire from the engine block to the dash harness ground point near the starter solenoid.

I also ran an 8 ga wire from that ground point direct to neg batt post as well as an 8 ga wire from the neg batt post to the front radiator support.

The 2-8 ga wires might be overkill but I was having some voltage drop problems and the extra grounds seemed to have fixed it.
