I think my point has been missed. Since the whirring sound continued after the key was removed and needed a battery disconnect to stop it, it indicates that juice was going to the starter when it shouldn't have. Ie. power to the starter should end when you let go of the key and it springs back into the accessory position.

You need to find the source of the short before you run the car, otherwise the new starter may suddenly engage while you are driving. Possibly causing catastophic damage. I'm no expert but the warning signs are there.
