I would recommend a carb that is really setup to run on E85. I got one through ProSystems and I know a few others have them too (BG etc). The jetting is vastly different because of the fuel demands.

For my 416 with big heads I think the carb is 950ish.

What kind of fuel system are you using to supply the amount you need? What size feed and return lines?

make sure your fuel system is methanol/alcohol compatable.

I'd send it to Mark Sullens for the conversion... probably one of the more knowledgeable e85 carb builders in the country.
