Exclamation Starter-Drive Problems

Hi all,
I´m new here, and i post for a friend. my friend own a 1962 T-Bird with 390cui engine and cruise-o-matic. The Bird have a brand new engine. We install the all parts, prelube and so on. the old starter-drive broke near the starter-gear. we order a new starter drive and install them. we will start the engine and the new starter-drive is also broken. The facts: you can turn the engine with a ratchet on the balancer, when the transmission is not coupled on the engine. when we install the tranny on the engine, you can not turn the engine with hand. i think now, the starter drives brakes, is a problem with the tranny or converter. is this right ? thanks for your help.
greetings
Klaus
