You mean the long bolts that are wrapped with tape or beaded with silicone to help prevent resonance (and therefore semi insulated?

Or the pan bolts that run through and are coated with paint, sealant, contacting an anodized plate, etc...

With a plastic plane, I leave NOTHING to chance and run the ground wires big, and direct.

I’m curious about the engine mount style you guys are using with this voltage drop situation.

I can’t imagine this problem occurring with the bed-mount/aluminum plate between the oil pan and engine block configuration.

Surely a 3/8” or ½” plate of aluminum and 20 bolts will conduct from housing to housing? - unless maybe it was anodized?
