The ground wire goes to the block. Routing should be pretty straight forward with it in all honesty, hook the starter wires in place first and you should see the tab that anchors the harness to the long trans bolt that goes thru the starter. Once that is in place it should pretty much lay in place.

Actually the battery ground should go to both the chassis and engine for best operation.

If the ground is in the way of the spark plugs then you are too high.

It needs to be lower, near the block coolant plug.
