The 216 is frozen, locked up. I tried, unable to loosen. However, I have a 1941 Chevrolet 1-½ ton donor truck that is equipped with a 4-speed transmission. My intent is to swap the 1946 “216” motor with the 1941 motor that is a “235“. I also intend to keep the 3-speed transmission.
Can I use the heavy-duty flywheel with 9 holes with the heavy-duty clutch, pressure-plate etc, with the light duty 3-speed transmission?

I ran a stock 3spd in my 46 behind a 57 235 for three years with no problems at all. I'd say go for it.
