You can run flex fuel (e85) in pretty much anything i think. It just requires a lot more gas generally. So you need to make sure your fuel system and injectors can supply it. Also tune needs to be adjusted, do some research there are writeups out there.

what year engine/ what year pcm do you plan on using,, the 2005? and newer do not use a flex fuel sensor,, they use a virtual sensor by monitoring the fuel level and o2 sensor/ fuel trims,, then anytime the ecm see's around a 3 gal fuel level change between ignition cycles it then monitors the fuel trims to re-adjust the % alcohol fuel content
