Starter may be out of alignment

Is it making grinding noises?
Are therre any shims between starter and block?

Not a single word escapes my mouth without offending someone, I need some serious help.

Chevy starters don't all require shims. You shim it if it doesn't fit right. Most of the small blocks I have worked on, and thats lots, require no shims, but some do. Depends how well the starter lines up.
There is usually a bracket and bolt at the front of the starter also. Its a good idea to put this back on. Helps align and keep the starter from shifting.
