Starter brace- 250 and 454- The same?

[walkerb]

So I finally decided to tackle the internment grinding start on my 74 250 manual Saginaw. Well im sure that having a brace on it might have helped. Starter wasted as well as the flywheel obviously.

Flywheel question- New vs. Used. New stuff any good(material)? I have a complete 1977 engine and drivetrain that i can steal a good flywheel from.

But balancing is an issue correct? Flywheel balanced to/with engine

Im a big fan of doing things right the first time so im looking for advise thanks

Some reason I cant post pics from my phone, but I will tomorrow
