Yours looks like a pinched frame?...on an unpinched 32 frame, a F100 box will clear on an early Olds with same starter issue, where a F1 box will not clear.

also, I think a mini starter is available for Buicks? if you paint it black no one will notice or...care, except maybe you.

Hamtown Al has a Buick going into a 32 with pics, stock steering box though,

One question, is your motor too high? Hard to tell by that pic, and I don't know if it would help if it was lower.

 

I will look at that link i dont think the engine is sitting to high but it isn't mounted yet

I don't know what era you are going for but Gary Heliker had U-joint steering in the early 60's
The car was in Hot Rod and Rod and Custom in 1962

 

Take a look at Tom T’s build thread. 32 five window with a nailhead.

My roadster built in '58 has '37 cross steering and one U-joint.

 

I have barely pinched 32 frame. Set up by Cornhusker (Krylon32).
Some pics on my build thread.

Don’t know how many more Cornhusker will build, but I think he’s still at it, experienced, & would likely answer your questions.
Buick 401.
ST400 original ******.
Vega Box.
Original Firewall.Not set back or cut, very slight indent to get the original distributor to clear.
4” drop axle.
I think 2 joints in steering shaft.
Cut off 41 ford shaft with keyed original from firewall up to wheel.
Centerville Buick(Russell&Matt Martin sell)
& it’s tight, but Geardrive Lake headers free up a lot of room.

Closeups of steering maybe in my build thread? Long time ago, not on this phone.
