HWYSTR455, I don't understand this:
Run the ground to the frame directly across from the run to the ENGINE. Or visa-versa. Leave the existing batt to frame in place, and at same connection point make the run to the front.

I was suggesting to double up on the ground. Batt is trunk is grounded to frame back there, correct? Connect a dedicated ground wire to the same point in the trunk and run it forward to another ground point on the frame close to the engine. Then from that point run it to the engine block.

But, if you're going to go over the entire circuit, you can try using riv-nuts at those two points first, and just replace the cables. That would save the money of the ground cable run from front to back.

Here is a pic of my batt-frame-block ground point. It has a riv-nut in the frame.

My batt is in the front, but the principle for the circuit for a batt in trunk is the same.

I have a high amp ALT, so at the block junction I run a ground to the case of the ALT as well.
