Sorry Jack, nothing to add to the clutch situation. However, regarding the forged shaft and a relationship to a "performance" package,
the Studebaker-Packard Service Bulletin announcing the forged crankshaft states clearly that it is nothing more than a service replacement, I suppose Packard went thru replacement crankshafts for the V8 faster than they anticipated when the established inventory quantities. Perhaps we could assume that Packard's original vendor for the cast shafts was no longer in a position of supply inventory so Studebaker forged them in their own facility.
