I know I'm about to catch all sorts of grief, but I'm working on picking up an 88 now.  After all, I just found out I have a 77/88 (well at least 88 head, manifolds and carb if not the whole engine).  The one I'm after looks even worse than my 77 (which is a working tractor and sadly in need of new paint - but it still is green and not reddish brown).

I just got the lecture about getting rid of the "junk" (1941 M and 195x MM ZB) because "you know you'll never get around to fixing them". "She who must be obeyed" is probably right (She says she's always right), I used to think retirement was when you had time to get to all the stuff you didn't have time to get to when you were working.  Now I know it is when you work harder than you did when you were working for wages.  The list of things I've got to do gets stuff added lots quicker than I can work down to things I'd like to do!
