Out of curiosity I tested a ford starter relay. It draws 3 amps. I'm currently running a power master 9162 starter which has a built in solenoid. However it requires an external relay to operate the solenoid due to the current requirement. I'm using a Bosch style 5 pin automotive relay for that. It draws .15 amps. Certainly removes quite a bit of load off of the starter switch. A stock ford starter can be wired the same way. Ignition sw to Bosch relay, then that powers the starter relay.
