Burys installed a roll cage, skid plates, and a 26-gallon fuel cell, in addition to boring out the 2.4-liter straight-six to 2.7-liters. The engine's compression was reduced to handle lower-grade fuel, a reality in the remote regions this car will pass through.
No, they did not install a diesel engine. Just bored out the engine, and reduced compression. Still burns gas.

This … gives me the feeling that the car world will never be as amazing as it once was or ever could be in the future.
Is it me or is our collective imagination diminishing somehow?
