Motor Mounts

I'm swapping my 305 for a 355, and I'm trying to put in new motor mounts and just by looking at them, will I need to drop my a-arms to get to the nut on the back? Im assuming there are nuts on the back considering I probably stripped out the bolt by now.

The bolts go down through the frame crossmember, the nuts are inside. There is a hole on the side of the crossmember, you may be able to reach the nuts with a 90 degree curved box wrench.
I got at them using long extensions by going through the coils on the springs, when reassembling I found it was easier to put the bolts in from the bottom.
