I have been running E85 in my .030 over, 670 headed, 455 with a Q Jet and iron intake for 8 years. Cold starts are like Cliff said, my oil stays clean, still looks new from when I changed it last fall. This engine has been in 3 cars, 62 GP, 69 GTO and now a 78 Cutlass that is strip use only. I use a in tank electric fuel pump, sending, hot wire harness and gas tank for a 87 Buick Turbo Regal. 1/2" lines tank to Robb MC regulator, 3/8" line to carb with a 3/8" return. I run about 9 lbs pressure at the regulator. Have to get a gauge at the carb.
