Adding Ground Straps (LT1 Swap)

Hey, I need to add a few ground straps. I need 1 from the engine to the frame , 1 from the engine to the body and 1 from the harness to the engine. Where are some good locations to add them on 87 T/A with a LT1 ? Thanks

The factory ones I know are on the drivers side cylinder head, on the ignition coil bolt, running to the frame rail; on the back of the engine up to the firewall; out of the wiring harness also to the firewall; near the battery directly to the frame.

I used that flat mesh non-insulated type wire. I ran mine similar to TexasLT1 except I have one on the drivers side head to the motor mount frame bolt.
