Engine to body ground...?
Engine block isn't body though.
The grounds I know about for the body are located behind the battery and opposite the battery on the driverside fender as well. Then you have the battery cable that comes from the battery to the front of the engine block right behind the ac compressor and a ground on the back of the block that is next to the oil pressure sender.

Would this work if I ran a ground from the alternator mounting post to the same ground the battery uses? Would this work for the body to engine ground? Or should I look elsewhere?

Well, I may end up going with 4 ga. I wanted to go as large as possible, but I may be on the extreme side of things. Just want to make sure the stereo and other electrical components are getting enough juice this spring/summer when i start using the AC more.
well what are you running for stereo?
my guess is that unless you are running a 200+amp alt plus a few thousand watt (rms) stereo you wont need larger than 4ga. My suggestion would be to leave all the stock wiring on also just incase a crimp fails or w/e. So you dont leave yourself stranded.
