FWIW, both the '56 Golden Hawk and the '55-'56 Clipper/Packards with standard transmission used the same ball-bearing pilot and all Packard V8 crankshafts are drilled for it. The Borg-Warner T85 transmission in the Studebaker was a short tailshaft version and Packard used a long tailshaft housing.

FWIW, that ball bearing is NLA and expensive when found. I've seen more than one with a fabricated bronze bushing installed.
