Not sure how far you want to go back. 

Roy Pauch early coupe - Plymouth hemi. 

Hackettstown Auto Parts-sponsored coupe owned and driven by Abe Levengood and Bob Garboski - Ford Y block. 

Johnny Ditmars ran a small block Mopar in his sportsman Diamond D coupe. 

Mario and Aldo Andretti first novice car was a Hudson powered Hudson. 

It was the 1971 or 1972 season that Clyde Suydam was running a borrowed 390 Ford when his own engines were used up. 

As recently mentioned on the site the Creager-sposored Vince Conrad #9 was 312 Ford powered. 

The Lane flatback Ford #29 coach driven by Zorro Engler ran a 312 Ford engine. 

My late friend Bob Benson ran big block Ford engines in his modifieds at Middletown and Nazareth.  I know I am forgetting many.

If I have this correct I believe that in the early days many tracks required cars to use their own brand engine so that would be a long list of Fords.
