1985 stock engine to body ground location

[erratic50]

where are the factory correct attachment points located for the engine to body ground on 1985 5.0 4 barrel carb T5 equipped cars?

I'm working on getting my 85 build sorted and noticed it is missing the ground strap.

Thanks for the reply!

I bought the car I'm working on as a near basketcase roller. I've invested a ton of time and money into doing everything just right not to mention all the efforts of those I've paid and those who have volunteered to help at various stages of the build.

I am trying to do it the way it was done from the factory.

The location I have seen on the early V8 cars is on the passenger side back of the block/head to the firewall. Seems to be a consistent location for most from 1982 to 1985 in my experience.

This is probably the clearest pic I have showing ground strap location on firewall. Between upper firewall rib and heater core penetration (red arrow).

That's exactly where the ground is on my '84 GT 4v. Good pic.
