When I changed engines in my roadster I put heavy braid straps from one side of
each motor mount to the other. This was intended to guarantee that there would
always be a good ground from the block to the frame. I have also checked the
frame ground wires, but not replaced them yet. I will as I complete the details
over the winter.
While bleeding the clutch this morning I noticed that these straps should be
reasonably easy to install without moving the engine at all.
