Man I am drawing a blank here. I have an 88 GT with a brand new 347 with a Ford Motorsport 28oz flywheel PN FMS-M-6375-A302B. I had the stock starter in there at first but it made this terrible squeal when starting. I pulled the starter and the flywheel looks fine but there was a bit of rolling on the starter gear. I replaced it with a 93 duralast mini starter and fired it up today. Sounded better but still had a strange squealing noise while it's starting and mainly when I let off the key and the bendix is disengaging.
The only thing I can think of is that I used a LMR spacer plate, https://lmr.com/item/LRS-7007R/mustang-bellhousing-spacer-plate-7995-50 and possibly it is putting the starter too close to the flywheel. I'll have to pull the starter back out and do some measuring I guess.
Anyone had this issue? Cant really space these starters out in this configuration.
