Be careful, there are two LRS707 models, one is 3.5" diameter, one is 5.5" diameter, and the bigger one fouls the sump. Even then, you may find that the throw on the LRS707 isn't long enough to engage with the ring gear on the flywheel.
I ended up having to become a ford starter motor nerd when researching which one would fit, and in the end an LRS543 fitted mine (2.0l Silvertop with 1.8 flywheel and type 9 gearbox.)
I think the difference comes because ford made a few variations of bellhousing depth over the years, so when you have a real mongrel collection of parts (as I did), things can get complicated.
Hope that hasn't confused the issue too much!
Cheers
Adrian
