if you don't care to run wires allong all the engine bay, I you can go directly to radiator core support ground point... or even in fact directly to batt post.

However that is too much wire going through engine bay without need for that. You can try also a stud, or bolt with a nut from inside the cab somewhere at firewall on a clean of paint spot and also run up to there the engine ground strap.

You can weld the bolt to from inside the cab too, going through the firewall.

Another posible good spot and won't need anykind of job are the wiper motor studs!!! but thats MAYBE some far away from block to attach the engine ground strap, I mean if you take the idea to use the same spot for it. It is at least a little bit far away on B bodies. Maybe not too long distance on A bodies. You can also get a longer ground strap too to get it.

just some ideas comes into my mind right now.

I was thinking of a buss bar kind of setup, with a large stud for the ground strap, and smaller screws for the smaller ground wires. Is anything like this available? Maybe something from a hardware store?

maybe yes... dunno. Never searched for it. Maybe radio Shack up there ? ( we don't have radio Shack down here... used to be here but not anymore )

Maybe in fact some car parts shop like Advance, Kragen...

But honestly I don't think necesary a buss bar. Engine bay devices only requires ground for ECU and Regulator and both can it be tighten up with same ground strap. Lights have the ground on radiator core support. Parking lights by chassis itself same as wiper motor. Horn is body ground too, and no one of them are critical like regulator and ECU.

but you have the option to make it as your wish

Doesn't the heater blower motor have it's own ground wire? I found something from searching on the internet. It's called a ground bar, which is sort of a buss bar for ground wires. I was thinking (just thinking for now) of putting the ground bar on the firewall, and connect the ground strap from the engine, and the ground wire from the blower motor, the regulator, and the ECU attached to it as well. Just trying to come up with ways to keep the engine compartment neat and tidy!
