====Navarro Indy====
Barney Navarro selected the 199 AMC engine to power a race car for the [[Indianapolis 500]]. Navarro had previously applied turbocharging to a variety of engines that led to the 199 engine's Indy-related application "based on a Stone-Age-strong Nash 6."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.motortrend.com/features/barney-navarro-982-1647-112-1/ |title=Barney Navarro (Originally published in the May 1998 issue of Hot Rod magazine) |date=1 January 2023 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=23 April 2024}}</ref>

This engine had not been used in an [[IndyCar]]. However, Navarro selected it "due both to its strong bottom end and thick cylinder walls."<ref name="unconventional">{{cite web|url= https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/barney-navarro |title= Barney Navarro — Unconventional thinking and hard work put his products in the record books |first=Daniel |last=Strohl |date=23 September 2018 |work=Hemmings |access-date=23 April 2024}}</ref> For the first Indy attempt, Navarro designed a fuel-injection system, a unique head, and a single turbo to achieve {{cvt|550|hp|kW PS|0}} at 6000&nbsp;rpm. This was with the stock block featuring seven main bearings and large journal sizes, while the second block was drilled for four-bolt caps.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.inliners.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=76243 |title=Thinking about hot rodding an AMC 199 |date=6 November 2013 |first=Ton |last=Jenkins |website=inliners.org |access-date=23 April 2024}}</ref> Successive engines incorporated double turbochargers to produce {{cvt|640–700|hp|kW PS|0}}.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.ramblerlore.com/AMC/Navarro-turbo-motor/index.html |title=Barney Navarro-built Rambler turbo Indy motor |first=Tom |last=Jennings |website=ramblerlore.com |access-date=17 April 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.motortrend.com/news/0903cct-h-and-h-flatheads-navarro-racing-equipment/ |title=H&H Flatheads & Navarro Racing Equipment — Classic Life |first=John |last=Gilbert |date=1 March 2009 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=23 April 2024}}</ref>
