Good article, thanks.
In one of my prior jobs one of our CNC programmers moonlighted for a guy. He used 460 Ford engines and "reconfigured" them into 4 cylinder engines with the other 4 cylinders being used to compress natural gas. He machined new crankshafts, camshafts, ignition, heads and all the rest to convert them.
Seemed like a pretty cheap gas compressor to me and was probably just too small to really take off, but still an interesting idea. He was doing pretty well for awhile. This was back in the late '90s early 2000s.

MILLER Bobcat Airpak welders had Deutz 4 cylinder Diesel engines where one cylinder was a air compressor. Coupled to a welder generator this was awesome mounted on an aerial work platform.
