Im in the process of droppin the engine in my car. I put the fuel injector wire harnesss on and there seems to be a ground wire on it in the back. Anyone know (assuming it is a ground) if it goes to the back of the drivers side head along with the other wire or does it go to the firewall. Those seem like my only options. Thanks.

That's a ground for the HEGO sensors It should have a rather large round terminal, if not, install a new terminal and bolt onto engine...
