Sounds like a tight squeeze if the starter solenoid hits the frame. I've never had much faith in OEM Ford starters, changed too many of them. Got a Powermaster (#9162), ~$150 US from Summit (summitracing.com). This unit fits the 157 tooth flywheel/302 bellhousing. 1/3 the size & weight of the Ford piece, should give you more clearance. Not sure how one obtains US made parts in UK, but I do know getting UK made parts in US is pretty easy. Look up a guy named Wayne Roper at europaspares.com and see if he can help.
