Now i need some advice, i have to connect the engine block to ground connection, Which is the best bolt to connect to the engine block? and where about would this be?

in my opinion, since the single largest current draw of any of the items on the engine is the starter, using one of the starter bolts to suppliment your ground is a good place to begin. other wise, since the block conducts electricity pretty much the same regardless of where you connect to it, whatever bolt is handy and the proper size should work. you may even find some drilled and tapped holes for accy's that are not on all models, and pop a bolt in there for a ground strap.

Well, starter is easy.. bottom front of engine, just about middle of car (slightly to the driver side). pretty easy to get to.

As far as the other options for improving ground goes, that is one your gonna have to look at, because not all conti's are the same under the hood as far as where you can grab a bolt or bolt hole for ground...
