To go back in two year steps was not the best idea. But you are
very close now. ;D
The Ford engine
however was a different one is correctly guessed. I have it as Ford Vedette (Simca, Matford ,,Aquilon") 2L engine which was apparently re-named to F-472 later.
This racing engine however was modified with hemispherical combustion chambers.

You're both right. Oh dear..
It's a car which evolved into this, which I believe was its final iteration.
Point awarded and puzzle merged.
Interesting power to weight ratio - that's a Ford flathead (from a Vedette) in a Monopole chassis.

It's the Duval-Ford V8. It was originally a 1948 Monopole-Simca into which Duval squeezed a Ford V8 Vedette engine. It should have been a sidevalve engine but when put up for sale it appeared to have "hemispherique"- presumably heads.
Yes ! it's the Monopole Simca DS002 of 1948 with body modified by Duval who added a Ford engine V8. 3,9l in 1951 !
