I have been messing around with e85 for more than a year now.
we tryed it in our 1970 nova s/st car. we have also ran methonal.
we lost a bit of power when using e85 and seems to heat more like gas but still cooler burning.
no you can't use a gas or methonal carb. the specific gravity of e85 is in the middle. meaning everything is diffrent. we are using a carb built out of st. louis called 007 carbs. they work very well.
first week out we took our nova to mega bucks in st. louis we top 16 all three days. our engine is a 355 with dart heads and 13.7 to 1 compresion. we had no problems at all. We are now building a 235 dragster with same combo and looking for some sposers. contact me I can get you a very nice e85 carb from 007. All we need to know is what size and info about your engine.
best thing about e85 you can buy it at the gas station. and racing fuel is going for more that $5.00 per gallon.e85 around here is 1..85 to 2.25 per gallon and octane is 106 to 110 depending on summer or winter blend. winter blend is less the add more gas to make e85 winter starting easyer.
