It may be a bell housing but you don't need to misalign the starter to chew up the flywheel. Mini starters have gears in different pitches and if you install the wrong one with the flywheel you eat the teeth. These are things that people know who work with these components on a regular basis.
I did not know that, the guy that does my Ford stuff told me... He also asked what clutch is on there and a bunch of other stuff that I cannot obviously answer.
I will say once again that there is no way on earth I would ever buy anything from these guys at Roush and for two reasons. First, for the kind of money you have in these engines, you should have twice as much horsepower and second, if you are going to charge double what something is worth then at least be prepared to get it right when something goes wrong.... I am also dubious that your repair guys know what is up here - that is probably because every 32 Ford has a Chevy engine and I'll bet they are probably experts on those..
