Large Arbor,
I don't know if you've dialed in your bell housing as others here have suggested or not, but if you haven't, you really need to do that before you start enlarging holes, machining block plates, etc. Bell housing alignment is very important not only for your starter, but mostly for the longevity of things like transmission input shaft bearings, pilot bearings, etc. Step back, take a deep breath and take the time and effort to do a systematic, diagnostic approach to solving the problem. It really does pay off in the long run.
