The starter has gear on it that comes into contact with the flywheel while in start phase. It spins the flywheel which in turn starts the engine. The flywheel turns continuosly with the engine. The transmission is connected to the fly wither by manual clutch setup(manual transmission) or by a viscous coupler (torque convertor in a auto transmission. The fly wheel turns the transmission which then moves the car. When it is in gear of course. I hope I explained this ok. Good luck.
it then sucks a dick and boosts

The answer to the question is no. If the flywheel is ground or damaged it needs to be replaced.

have you removed the flywheel bolts? I've never used a flywheel puller, you shouldn't need one, theyre not a press fit. You may have to let it sit over night, then tighten it some more as descirbed in this article. http://hubpages.com/hub/removing-outboard-flywheel
If you are asking if a small block chevy V8 flywheel (most common engine in a 1967 Camaro) will work on a Pontiac V8 (most common engine in a lemans), the answer is no.
It will on anything older than 1986. Probably work on the newer ones too.
