Hi Joel

You should be able to get the flywheel ring gear from a local parts supplier price range around $50. Checked the Chevrolet Master Parts book 1938 - 1951 it list all flywheel ring gear ALL 38-51 as being part # 3835306 may actually run later than 1951 as I remember the key to knowing which is the number of teeth.

Tried looking on NAPA Canada's web site and found BKP 6003002 as being the part number with this as description:

Line code BKP
Part number 6003002
Description Flywheel Gear
Attribute Product Features:Replacement Ring Gear On Flywheel & Flexplate Assemblies Duplicate Original Equipment In Fit & Function,# of Teeth:139,Manufacturer:Anchor Industries,Mfg Part Number:139CF,I.D.:13",O.D.:14",Width:.507",Pitch:1 0 / 12,Tooth Chamfer:Front

Obviously have the local parts guy confirm that this looks like the correct part number.

Check your tooth count, I could not find a price on line from Canada but US Napa wanted $42 US. Last time I ordered one of these it took under a week for it to come in.

Reason I mention this is that having a flywheel shipped may cost more than what the ring gear costs.

Installing is easy, heat the ring gear in an oven to 350F pick it up with a pair of clamp on pliers and it will drop right on to the flywheel.
