Well if you spent $10 on the motor yes parts will exceed motor costs as it normally does…..
O rings are cheap and should be available locally if you hunt around a bit
the carbon seal and other parts can be had from VINTAGEOUTBOARD.COM and other places just shop around but do expect to spend some $$$ for your hobby.
the 5.5 is and excellent motor and if it was stored/and treated properly in it’s earlier life you will have a fine motor to fish with for years
if the slinger is intact leave it in place.
just do a compression check and other basics like coils points condensers gearcase sealing etc…
lots of good videos on utube on the 5.5 including fuel pump conversion if you want to use a modern fuel tank with a single line hove.
Purist like to run these on the pressure tank and dual fuel line.
