Pardon my ignorance for a question. If the Stude 289 is 695# and the 374 is 705, then what is missing. In some of the car reports of the era, it was reported the Golden Hawk 56 being nose heavy vs 57 because of the engine. The 352 would be a few pounds more possibly and the 289 with supercharger would surely be about the same as the Packard so what causes the writers to review as they did.
