So i attempted the Big 3 upgrade and in the process of doing it i managed to kill my alternator i believe.

I tried to look around to see if someone had pictures of where their wires went to and everything but came up short. Anyone able to tell me where their ground wires go to?

Also, during my engine swap i guess i attached the battery ground to the engine block? Where is it supposed to go, exactly?
 






block to frame frame to negative terminal(thats how factory is setup), if you just run it to the battery from the block then the chassis wont be grounded and will cause issues.

should go to a hole ontop of the frame infront of the coil bucket, thats where it is on all my ford trucks
 






I found a picture from when i was doing my engine swap.
I believe this is the battery negative ground. This i cuurrently have bolted to the block, however i believe its supposed to be attatched to the frame?
