As happens with new projects, there have been delays, and we are still in
line to have the 5 cylinder done.  The 2.3 is a new conversion for Detlev
(2.2 lower compression engine used before), and he is still working out the
bugs in the 2.3 conversion that he is doing currently for someone else.
Whenever that one is done, we are next.  Rest assured that when ours is done,
we will post the results.
