You can find information on the kit in the following thread:

Yeah, 40 mins, it took me about 3 hours because that damn bolt on the back of the head was so hard to get too....but i got it on and it works and looks great. Slow but steady wins the race.
Thanks for the instructions.

I disconnected all the various tubes running around that, then used a stubby 1/4" drive ratchet to get at it. It's no easy task, but patience pays off.

How about using the front of the head instead? like in this Lineage Grounding kit install?

Yes, it WILL melt the wire cover. I had it there and took a drive and it was on the verge of melting. What I did is use the back one, but instead of using the hole on the block which is hard to get to, buy a bolt and nut and attach it to the rear engine hoist bracket like front one you removed. There's a hole that's a perfect size for attaching the wire on. It as much easier to wrench it tight and it stays cooler back there.

I thought this was a bad place to put it.. but have seen a few installs with it, was just wondering about their outcomes with that location.
SinCity : good tip.
I will be building and installing mine this weekend.
