Lightbulb Starter problem 91 5.0 with block hugger headers

I have a 91 Mustang 5.0 with a T5 tranny it has a 157 tooth flywheel. Just so you know it is a 60 Truck not a Bronco. I figured no one answered my question in the Truck forum so I figured the Bronco fans would know. What is my cheapest way out? A $180 dollar mini starter or a flywheel from a 81-85 ford truck but it has a 11" clutch will that clear the T5 bellhousing? Or what stock starter will work in tight places? Hope yall can help Truck coming up soon hope to make it.
Thanks Trevor

So, your problem is fitting the starter under the headers, correct? Have you tried an OE starter from your '91 engine?

No and I think it is the length but I did find another answer. It was not the cheapest but I did get it from the local parts store. 92-93 Mustangs and maybe even later Mustangs they have a smaller starter with a external silenoid that still needs the firewall silenoid. It gives me approx 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of room so maybe this will help someone with the same problem. BTW the cost was $144 and the cheapest I found was $99 and they both have limited lifetime warrenty
Thanks for looking at the post
Trevor

PS the King Cobra clutch is a 10.5 inch instead of a 10 inch
