Default Grounding connections

Guys,

Does anyone have a link, documentation, and/or diagrams referencing where all the grounding connections go on an LS1 engine?

This is the only thing holding me up on my 408 rebuild...can't wait to start it up.....

Yes, three on the driverside head, I think one on the driver's side block, behind the alternator. Probably one or two more I'm missing.

A ground is a ground is a ground. Find something metal and ground the wires that need to be grounded. The back of the head is a good place for the wires that need to be grounded back there. You can also use the engine as a grounding point or find some bolts on the car nearby.
