Now that someone's already brought it up, and for future reference, the ONLY American V8 engine that has exhaust-port spacing like your first version is the "nailhead" Buick. The nailheads also have other immediately recognizable characteristics, so if you're going for engine accuracy, it pays to research.

The "tony navy" dragster you mention (actually Tony Nancy, a very famous hot-rod upholsterer and drag racer) has a Buick nailhead engine, accounting for the unusual port spacing.
