I believe it would be at the starter case or mounting bolt. Others here will confirm, but the reason things seem to be fine without it, is that the starter has adequate ground via the mounting bolts for the time being....

I have seen them hooked up at the starter mounting bolts, bellhousing, blocks ect. The important thing is make sure both ends of surfaces are clean and free of dirt, paint and rust. I would rather have a extra ground or 2 than not have them. It will save you headaches down the road.

BTW, I got a 10' piece of braided copper wire and a box of solder on copper terminals off Amazon for about $20, what one good ground cable costs retail.
Copper lugs, assorted, were $20 on Amazon. About $5 each on the battery terminals. not shown.
