Default E85 F100

Just the engine back from the machine shop and assembled it today, just got done converting the 1980 F100 I6 300to run on E85 ethanol, I used the 600 cfm Edelbrock E85 carb, Steel fuel line, New steel fuel tank and mallory Alcohol capable fuel pump/filter...also I am running ross racing 10.5:1 pistons, a clifford performance head with oversize valves, clifford performance cam and connecting rods, Crane Rockers and Pushrods and Timing chain. I took everything out that the e85 could corrode and replaced it with alchohol/ethanol friendly parts and it purrs like a kitten thru the 3+3 hedman headers and dual side exit cherry bomb exhaust that is now catalytic less...

-According to many prominent critics, E85 ethanol: costs more in energy to produce than it provides; polutes more than petrolium based fuels; has raised the production cost of - beef, pork, chicken and all corn based foods; has increased the costs of soap and the most important of - increased the costs of booze (including beer).
-Be careful of what you ask for, you may get it.
