Just saw a photo of the Klatt car at Anderson, sporting the blue oval decals. However, the headers suggest that the engine just might not be a Ford.
Chevy or Mopar.....?

Anyone.......???

Just checked Dave Merritt's photos from Anderson-unless there's a new Ford cylinder head with exhaust ports spaced similar to the Chevy/Mopar, that sure doesn't look like a Ford engine to me...

Good catch!

Also checked last year's photos from Anderson-the heads appear similar
