What kind of power did it make on E85? I just tuned a BBC with the same blower and XFI, no inter cooler though. Pump gas 1050hp. I would love to run it on E85 if I could talk the owner into it.

I've got a little E85 EFI project myself. It's a 10/71 Blower Shop blower on a 598 BBC. This is going in a 69 Camaro and I'll use it in my Vette for special events.



Roots are still cool!!!

The water pump is not engine mounted. The water pump is connected directly to the bottom radiator outlet and plumbed to the engine.
