I thought it went from the block to the body to ground them together?

it actually connects to the motor mount bolt and goes to the body. the bolt it connects to is located upside down or on the bottom of the rail. kind of by where the sway bar goes. its hard to explain but if your under the car looking up thats where it bolts to.

main ground is on the drivers side front motor mount stud and goes over to the bottom edge of the frame rail using a self taping sheetmetal type screw (green).

There is also a ground for the engine harness that attaches to a stud on the side of the timing chain cover just in front of the oil pressure sender.
