Oh, bad ring gear then. What cause it to get chewed, bad starter, maybe needs to be shimmed when the new flywheel is installed. Might just want to replace the starter all together, since it has to come off anyways.
Not sure if anybody around will replace just the ring gear, I never had it done.
I will take a look at the 1 I have in the garage and verify the condition. I had it resurfaced, shortly after that I replaced it with a lightweight steel unit.
The thing weights like 28# if I remember correctly.

I've replaced the starter ring before. It is incredibly simple. Once the old one is off
-You clean up the flywheel.
-You place the flywheel in the freezer (contracts, shrinks)
-Place the starter ring in the oven. (Expands, grows)
-Place the hot ring on a very flat surface.
-Place the cold flywheel into the starter ring.
-Voila!!
The instructions were in the Haynes manual. It was really cheap and easy. Just the way I like it. Did have to replace the starter also. The gear in the starter was pretty beat up.
