O/T building engine for e85

Posted by n8terry on May 20, 2008 at 21:08:49 from (172.162.128.151):

I want some opinions on this.

Couldn't a person build an engine with about 11:1 compression ratio and run it on e85? Do they make an external fuel pump like for a small block chevy that would handle the e85. Would the throttle body fuel injection work, and what modifications would have to be made?

From what I read, the higher compression ratio will raise the mileage to same level as the straight unleaded in the lower compression engines, perhaps more.

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for your comments.
