A great  question, Cash. Bob Benzinger said that Chevrolet had to use the   
flexible flywheel because a solid caused a "freight train noise". This was  
true  
for the 140/144 cid engines BUT was it also true for the 164  cid engines? 
Chev 
never checked apparently. So maybe, just maybe, a solid  will work OK for the 
164  engine. Please let us know how it works  out.

Years ago, I had a solid flywheel on my '66.  It was noisier than the  
riveted flywheel but it wore the clutch surface badly and I had to remove it and  
put in a bolted flywheel.
