Use the A3 ground cable and replace the upper trans bolt with the A3 ground bolt. The bolt screws into the block and has a threaded stub sticking out. Connect the A3 ground cable from battery to engine. Run a "starter" cable (both ends are flat connectors) from the engine bolt to a chassis ground. Looks good, works better than any A2 setup. Side benefit, the A3 battery connector has 4 connectors available for the auxiliary grounds.
