It may not hurt to run one from motor to the frame if you don't have one.

From the factory my 81 F100 w/300 six runs from the battery to frame then to starter bolt to ground motor / trany.
There is also an 8ga wire ground from the motor to the fire wall to ground the body.

Can never have too many grounds

That is about the size this wire is. If i cannot find the original location i will probably put it under a bell housing bolt.
