Need help from US!

[ss9940_2]

Hi there fellow Iboaters!

I'm in need of some help from the US. I can't get a gear ring (for the flywheel) for a 1994 4.3L Mercruiser (0f078347) here in Europe. I've been told that mercruiser only sells complete flywheels for like 1500 usd here in europe. Now, I read that napa sells them for GM in the US. My question: would anyone be so kind to buy & send me one? I would transfer the amount + something for the effort in advance (PayPal or wire). PRETTY PLEAAAAASE???

Thanx in advance

Alex

You did not state what was wrong with your old ring gear.
If the teeth are worn, turn the ring gear over and reinstall.

Hi all!

Thanx for all the responses...

@Bubba: I'm from Europe, so no US car/truck parts here

I don't know if it's a 12 or 14... On perfprotech i get this flywheel part number: 222-824320... But if the ring gear is cheap, i could take both...

Here is my address (for the shipping quote, USPS if possible):

Hi SS,you don't find only Americans here!
Personaly i needed a flywheel, when swaping from 305 to 350 which needs the biger one, here in Greece and visiting 2-3 marine repair shops i found a used one at perfect condition for 250 Euros.Search some shops and if you don't find anything in case you need the small one you may PM me.

Hmmm I can't get a reply from betayv... Bondo, can you help me out? Pretty pleaaaaaseeee...

@sarantis: I don't need the flywheel, just the gear ring and i KNOW that those are the same in the automotive world, just muuuuch cheaper (in a post i read about 20 bucks).

Thanx
