Could be a stroker engine. Bekkers in the US sells a stroker kit that converts a 2.3-16 to 2.6-16

Stroker Kit

What's exactly a stroker engine? Parts to increase engine capacity?

Yes. Called a "stroker" kit since the bore of the engine cylinder remains the same, but the stroke of the piston is increased to up displacement. Pistons, connecting rods, bearing and sometimes crankshafts are replaced.

That's where I found the car. Take a look! Wish I could get the stroke kit but apparently not available anymore.
