Default Blown Alky SBC, can it run on E85?

SBC 377/6-71/alky injected.
What would need to change to have it run on E85?
I am looking for streetabilty here. I can not exactly run into Cheveron and top off with alky. lol E85 is a little more practical, although I know little to nothing about it.
Anyone have any idea on what I would need to change to have it run good on E85?
I can pull boost (larger pulley) and pull timing to make less power if it lets me run E85 when its not on a track....

I am certain it can run on E85, would just have to rejet the BIRD. I was wanting to know how I can make it streetable.
But after doing some research it is highly unlikely that I will be able to run it on the street with this style injection, because it is a continuous flow pump, and its VERY difficult to run enough bypasses to be able to have it run decent at part throttle operation, and also WOT.
It looks like I would have to change a LOT of the set up up to get it in a position to run well on the street and track, in fact I would probably have to go with an EFI set up. There is the option of switching to dual carbs, and runing good ol Petrol, but I dont really want to do that, although it makes the most sense to get her on the street.
Bla!
