Re: 1959 Flywheel / Clutch / V8 conversion
The Permanent magnet starter designed for the Vortec and later engines is a far better starter than those one size fits all things from the aftermarket. I've never heard of anyone having trouble with those but there are hundreds of threads on the net about issues with those little aftermarket "mini" starters.
The right flywheel for the engine shouldn't be an issue new or used as there are tens of thousands of standard shift Vortec powered trucks out there. I've been wanting to sell my flatbed and get a later model 4x4 crew cab to pull my boat and my car trailer with and all the trucks with good prices have a stick in them rather than an automatic and it's no fun to back down a boat ramp with a 25 ft boat with a stick.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
