2002 silverado 168 tooth GM flywheel for the 4.3. about $70

however most likely you need only a ring gear which is about $15 at napa

Nay, I got the block with some extra accessories, flywheel was missing.
Thank you very much. So regular automotive flywheel would do? There are several 168 tooth flywheels that differ by the weight for different Chevy engines. Mercruiser numbers are also different from Chevy casting.

mercruiser bought the motor complete with exception of manifold up and exhaust from GM. the flywheel is a GM flywheel.

there is only one for a 4.3 manual transmission. with 168 tooth ring gear.
