Few things to look at. First is what starter you are getting, the HD starter will have a spacer between the solunoid about 3/4" long. Next is the wiring from the key to the solenoid. The stock wiring a lot of times will not carry enough current to pull the solenoid in like it should. You will have the same issues you are having now. One way to ad power is to wire the solenoid is to wire a relay to drive the starter. #12 wire from the battery to power the relay and 12 to the starter. Trigger it with the wire from switch. What kind of 350 do you have that is externally balanced?
