440 build working with what I’ve got

That’s the new plan, my carb needs a rebuild anyway, so I’ll just convert it in the process. E-85 is available pretty much every major I plan to drive the car around. My biggest concern will be winterizing it to avoid the corrosion, I don’t have much experience with running alcohol or e85.
Best way is draining the carb if you’re going to shut it down for any length of time, end of the season guys are running the E-85 low to empty then run a few gallons of regular fuel in the tank to the carb and your good.
