BBC starter problems

427 bbc with a stock starter makes horrible grinding noises.
Here is what I have done.
Shims all different positions.
checked the engagement with a paper clip
2 different starters
1 new flexplate.
It has the knurled bolts and the rear brace.
Had someone else try their hand at it
The starters have the bolts directly across from each other.
Nothing changes the noise.
Any suggestions?
