Default Ground wires points and or connection

I need to know all points that needs to be grounded, there is several wires on the back of the head, is there a flat ground strap that goes from the engine to the chassis? If so what point or where do you attach that. I used the search but was not able to find the info needed.

I would like to know all points and connectors that need to be hooked.

I have one of those braided cables going from my frame to the motor, have it bolted to the holes you mentioned on the heads, but up at the front. Then my harness has a ground strap in it that is also bolted to the other end of the head. My battery is in the trunk and the negative cable goes to the frame. I have seen recommendations to run a ground cable between the body and frame also, but so far have not needed one. May car has a full frame, not Unibody.

The official LS1 master ground is just in front of the starter on the block.

my harness is grounded at the back of the head....I have a ground cable from the block to the body and another one from the block to the subframe. My batt is in the trunk and is grounded to the trunk floor....I don't have full frame hence used the body as the main grounding point.
