the coyote continues to bite... resolved! :)

Try Ground straps directly to the heads vs the block. The easy way I do it is.... ground strap from one head to the other head and then from one of those heads to the frame and/or battery. It's easy to try it.

I guess I could try this, need to find another spot to attach a bolt on the heads

1. really tight on the driver side
2. lack of mount points - pretty much everything is used up

any recommended spots to mount between heads? I'm up for anything at this point to get it running...

I'd try the front of the heads.... use an existing bolt, e.g., where other items are mounted to, e.g., alternator bracket, timing chain cover, header bolt... etc.

For a very easy "test".... just use jumper cables.... head to head the Head to Neg Battery Terminal. Also, Use an Ohm meter from the head to the neg battery terminal to check if you have a clean connection.
