I was struggling getting my starter to behave, so I gave up and took it to a "starter shop" that was recommended by my general mech shop.

I was like ya, it wasn't fun getting on at all!

Edit: I see you don't have your manifolds on or it seems that way. With the Ram horns, I was only able to get like 1/4 turn and had to keep flipping my wrench! I am telling you, it took FOREVER to get that bolt on the block tighten down for me ;-)
Fortunately for me I was able to install it before the headers were in place, so it was a piece of cake. I could see it being a real pain with everything else installed.
