what is/was a Piker motor?

I saw where a guy referred to an engine in an M Farmall as a Piker engine. What's he talking about?

"Piker" is a derogatory term:

1. a person who does anything in a contemptibly small or cheap way.
2. a stingy, tight-fisted person; tightwad.
3. a person who gambles, speculates, etc., in a small, cautious way.

I don't know if they're using the term correctly, but they mean it in a derogatory way, I'm sure.

Dad always said his neighbor would tell him when he was a kid that he had a "Pike's Peak Engine" or "Pike's Peak Setup" in his semi tractor.

High-altitude pistons, souped up for hill-climbing, different tranny/gearing? I don't know.
