Alright...I've got the battery relocation box (just the box) in the hatch already. IN the stock set up, the negative is grounded to the block and the chassis......CAN you ground the battery to the chassis and ground the block JUST to the frame in the engine bay.....or is grounding the battery to the block as well more highly recomended....any negative effects to grounding the block to the frame?

I come from a land down under
If you mean hooking the battery - to the frame then the frame to the block you can do it this way but you might see a voltage drop due to resistance in the frame.

I ran 2 x .5" welding cables from the battery the + going to the starter terminal and the - to the block then ran another from the block to the frame, I find this works really well.
