A connection is commonly made between the body and the chassis as well. A common wire can be run directly to the starter, or close to it mounted to a bolt on the engine bell housing. Multiple connections are required because different parts of the car are insulated from each other. Such as the engine from the chassis and the chassis from the body.
It is possible to use a single ground to the engine block but if this is the case, a second ground wire from the block to the frame or chassis is required. This is not the preferred method of grounding since multiple grounds to the frame, and body, and engine will provide a more secure ground. Is the car battery connected to the chassis?
At the front of the car, a connection between the frame and the engine block is necessary and is equivalent to routing a wire from the battery directly to the engine block. Tap a hole in rear frame rail and bolt it to the frame. Also from the engine mount to the frame rail at the front of the car.
A secure ground connection is required between the negative battery terminal to the body of the car as well as directly to the engine. A connection is commonly made between the body and the chassis as well. A common wire can be run directly to the starter, or close to it mounted to a bolt on the engine bell housing.
The best place to connect a cable from the negative battery terminal to the engine is at a vacant threaded hole directly into the block. Most often, engine manufacturers provide a threaded hole specifically for this purpose. The next best place on the engine you can connect the ground is using a bell housing bolt.
A chassis ground is needed in conjunction with the ground to the engine because although the engine is bolted to the frame, the engine mounts insulate the engine from the chassis with rubber mounts for vibration reduction.

Keep Motorhome Chassis Battery Charged When RV Park Living
The Xantrex Echo connects your RV house batteries to the chassis battery. It then draws power from the charger connected to the house batteries and uses that to maintain the other battery it''s connected to. It will only switch on when the house batteries are being charged, so it won''t kill the RV batteries to keep the chassis battery alive.
