RE: screech
It sounds like the starter is a little "cocked" out of position. Loosen the bolts, move it away from the flywheel a bit, and re-tighten. Mine use to do the same thing. Make sure it is TIGHT so it will not move again. It may take a few tries to get it just right.

to add to this, you need to get a starter for the engine year, which may be different from the body year. I had a '67 Mustang, but it needed a starter from a '74 to work as someone changed out the motor at some point.

I would say it sounds like a loose belt. The starter is only used when cranking the car to start it. After the car starts, the starter pretty much doesn't do anything. I would go with replacing the belt.

RE: screech
Something that bothers me here though...5 starters? Is this an Automatic? Are the starter and flex plate, or flywheel on a stick, mating up OK? Have you made any other changes? On an Automatic, if the flexplate is loose or "cocked" it could also be making contact with the inside of the bell housing. That will definitely put out a high pitch screetch.
