Contemplating an e85 carb instead of fuel injection.
I have a long block mocked up in the car and going to do stock manifolds with a crossover underneath like a Buick GN. Trying to keep the hot side piping underneath. Will post up some pictures of progress.

You'll love it mate. One thing I would caution you with though is the engine management side of things. E85 carbs are great if you're going to run just E85 and a timing curve dedicated for that fuel where if you're running a good electronic engine management with a flex fuel sensor you can reap the benefits of using any type of fuel available to you and have your engine management adjust on the fly your fuel stoich set point and your spark tables. I run flex pretty much on any car because here in Australia we have 98RON and E10 (94RON) fuels in abundance. E85 is rare. So most cars I tune i'll setup for 0% ethanol, 10% ethanol, 50% ethanol blend and 70+% ethanol. Our E10 fuel will need timing pulled away in the mid range and at peak torque compared to 98RON and E85 but E10 is roughly 30c/litre cheaper here so just for normal street driving it helps the hip pocket somewhat. Plus you can also throw in flex boost control so when you do throw in the party corn sauce, it will party a bit harder where as if you're going to run a lower octane fuel or less ethanol you can run less boost. Something to think about....
