And verify your starter solenoid is wired correctly. Or it could actually be stuck open/closed ( ??? ) which would cause this issue.

Also, we need to know if you have converted to the mini-starter or not. If you have; a picture of the wiring to the starter solenoid might help....

Had a similar problem on my '87 5.0. I replaced the solenoid and disconnected the aftermarket alarm wiring going to the solenoid. It's worked fine since then. Don't be cheap either, get the good one.
