You could try shimming one of the starter bolts but I have never owned a Ford that required shimming. Definitely odd
yea it is odd, but the shims i got is for the WHOLE start like it bring the whole start out just a bit but if this dont work ill get a new bellhouseing

BTW: On one of the other starters i put on this car it started up PERFECT i mean it had no grinding at all NONE! it started up like the car was brand new.... then 2 weeks later it started do this crap again.. any idea what might have caused that..?

at first i thought the other starter i had just wouldnt turn it over cuz of the compression but i guess i was wrong
