Further research, and talking to an electrician, says my theory is good: The frame itself is probably a better conductor than the 0g grounding cable.
The problem is, how is the frame grounded back to the battery? If the battery is jumped to the block, and the block to the body, and the body to the frame, how big are all those individual jumpers, and how good are all those connections?
To make it work, I would have to run a solid ground from the frame back to the battery, and at that point, it'll be easier just to run a cable the full length.
