460 starter replacement ?

What is the trick to accessing the upper starter mounting bolt? I can't seem to get any "regular" wrenches up in that tight space. Truck is a 93' f250 4x4 w/ 460 and automatic. Looks like I need something similar to a distributer wrench.

I haven't done a 460...but.....usually a real long extension and a flex socket will get to anything

that is exactly the right answer a long extension and a little bit of a wobble and a headlight go from the back around the crossmember of the transmission to see the bolt and stick about a 4 ft to 5 ft extension up in there
