Re 87a, I can't make sense of the first part of the clue so maybe wait for confirmation from someone else.

87 surely must be CHASSIS, but I'm not seeing the parsing either. "odd" rather than "even" "it's" would give the last IS, though....

I agree with Brendan.
Chassis

Chassis

noun - the skeleton of a motor vehicle consisting of a steel frame supported on springs that holds the body and motor
a metal mounting for the circuit components of an electronic device
alternative names for the body of a human being; "Leonardo studied the human body"; "he has a strong physique"; "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"

The whole World (as in the Human Race) Has a body (Chassis)

And every car has a Chassis.
