I have been waiting to post this to see how it would do, but it has been 2 weeks since the engine swap and NO starter squeal.
When I had the starter out I took it apart and greased it up good inside. There is a a area that has 3 gears driving a geared shaft, thats where I believe the squeal problem comes from. Anyways all I done was greased her up real good and put her in. Most people I talked to replaced the brushes but I didn't go that route. It takes about 10 min. to do it ....very worth it.

I did the same thing to mine over 130,000 miles ago and it's still working- never any squeal since.
