from what i have read on that is all the fuel lines in the fuel system need to be changed to stainless steel, the injectors, fuelpump, and rubber seals also need to be changed. It really isnt worth doing good luck

With your n/a built high-compression motor running 110octace LEADED fuel I don't think it would run worth a sh*t converted to E85 - a complete waste IMHO

I don't know what your fuels are like in the US but I have seen an increase in power over 109 race fuel by switching to E85 with a high comp k20/k24.
