The ring gear can be replaced, but the labor & parts may make it less attractive than getting a replacement converter, unless doing it Yourself.
What happened to Yours? As far as the replacement ring gear, Transtar/Recon should have them, but if someone's doing it for You(Shop) they'll
probably have a source. The stitch-welds need cut, the new ring needs warmed up after knocking the old one off, then squared-up and re-welded.
If it is a few damaged teeth, they can be MIG'd up & ground/filed back to form, MIG wire is pretty tough laid down............
 
some bad teeth mite be missing in spots
but what year converters interchange

Unless there's some odd real early nuance(60-61), any '67 and down for a six cyl. should be fine.
