I am looking for a flywheel for a 1993 mercruiser 4.3 v6 with balanced shaft. I found the mercruiser part number for this flywheel 222-9158 but all the flywheels I found have a GM casting numbers that dont match mercruiser. I have two flywheels that are for 4.3 v6 without a balanced shaft 1984 and another one for vortec 4.3 v6. Neither does fit the engine. Two other flywheels I found have the following castings 14103283N and 14088671N. Does either one of them fit my engine? And secondly, is there any xreferrence source for these part numbers. Chevy dealership could not determine if the flywheel is ok without the engine number neither could marine stores. I'm quite lost. Thank you

Its a manual trans flywheel. Your two choices are 153 tooth (10" clutch) or 168 tooth ( 11" clutch)
your looking at a 1992-1995 vintage

Rock auto about $75

Neither of the two you have will work

The 14103283N (168 teeth 14 inch) is pre-vortec Merc V6 motors, and can find at Rockauto and such places

The 222-9158 shows for 1992 to 1993 V6 Merc
The 222-824320 GM# 10222825 shows for 1993 to 1995 V6 Merc

Edit: took me a while to research

I looked up these flywheels as well, the only difference I discovered was the flywheel with casted number 14088671N is for the older 5.7L engines. Thank you guys, I know how difficult it is to find this information, I spend hours between marine stores, automotive stores, Chevy dealerships and searching internet. I think 14103283N is the right selection.
