I have a stripped down 350 engine if the parts you need are interchangeable. I think you've (via Pete) had the gears already. Post a photo of the part you need and I'll see what's there.

Is the area of the crank where the pulley sits in good condition? Sometimes the nut can come loose and let the pulley rattle around on the crank and thread. If the pulley area is ok try and get the thread recut maybe slightly smaller.
