those running e85 on metal tanks and stock lines come ine Well I'am in the process of building my 434 Darton Sleeved LS1. I'am planning on running e85. Compression on motror will be in the 12s or 13s.
My question is how many are running on stock metal 98 tanks and stock lines?
Any issues?
How long have you been using e85 on the metal tank and stock lines?
is it worth it?
1 magna fuel pump or dual lonies pumps?

You'll just have to clean out your fuel filters. No problems.
If you're going E85, you might as well go all out, bump up that comp. and get some dome's in there...13.5-1+

Unless you get the stock tank coated I dont think the metal tank will cut it. I would swap to the plastic tank. We have used the dual Lonnies pumps in our Stage3 street kits for E85 several times with out a problem.

We do alot of E85 swaps for customers on Evo's and other imports. Only thing we really have to do is check the fuel filter and injectors sometimes gum up. Usually most of this can be avoided with running a tank of 93 through it from time to time.
Stock lines, Metal tank, Walbro 255's, you name it never had a problem.
BUT, that being said I am unfamiliar with F-body stuff and what they can handle chemically. I am new to v8's and I plan on dumping corn right into my stock tank on my 89 stang.
