One of the problems with getting the work done on the 88 has been that two of the shop guys were out most of the winter. That and other reasons put the 88 way behind schedule.

While the CATS owes it's early existence to the 83, I am pragmatic enough to see that it will cost at least as twice as much money and labor as a normal 1472 on a K36. It ain't going to happen at the CATS as shop guys (and money) are stretched thin enough just keeping 4 K36s and a K27 running. Add work on a rotary and rebuilding 168 is really pushing the envelope for the foreseeable future.
