See that hole in the pedestal for the passenger side engine mount? One guess why Factory Five puts that hole there. Centralizing your ground locations is always a good idea. Where you have it will work just fine.

Thanks Frank. I had already had the starter and battery grounded there , when I was about to put the engine ground strap on I figured since I had that location already set up to put it there also instead of the engine mounting ears.

Make sure all paint is removed from the frame tube. Coat the frame and all the wire ends w/ grease. I like to tighten the bolt to where the wire ends are a little snug, and then grab each one and rotate it maybe 45 degrees a few times, then do a final tightening.

Already removed all paint from the 4 inch tube and the engine block. Will put some grease on there :D
