C6 Corvette Engine ground
How is the engine grounded in these cars? Besides the ground cable that is connect to the starter, are there any other wires connecting the battery to engine (block or cylinder head), or engine to frame?
can a bad engine ground cause a random misfire/stumble?

I dont know where all the grounding areas are for the car but I would run down burnt/loose wires, clogged injectors, and old spark plugs for this issue you are describing first. If you have already done that then check for vacuum leaks and malfunctioning sensors.
There are some really good and cheap OSBII port readers that will bluetooth right to your phone and tell you what the computer is saying in regards to codes.
Hope this helps.

I think there is also another ground on each side also on the frame closer to the back of the engine. I think one is kind of under the brake fluid reservior and the other in a similar location on the passenger side.
Not sure of other grounds.
