no --weld on back side of scattershield and install the bolts from the front like you have-

If you can't get an extension pass the motor mount to the top bolt--THEY (Snap-on, Mac,etc) make what's known as a starter wrench and they are a big c curve which will wrap around starter so you can get leverage on the bolts, but the socket and extension forward works better


by the way--that's a nice clear pic

looks like you could use a longer bolt in the lower corner of the block
