Thanks Mickey-d! I think I just needed one more person to say "Why the Hell not?" I've been itching to make a bit more motor but still be able to drive it without towing a camel full of race fuel... I've used E-85 before, but was unfamiliar with the "octane" properties. The web sites listed in the thread were really helpful. I'm after performance without the price tag of driving 40 miles to get race fuel just to drive it home and park it. The comparitively small fuel milage loss is tolerable for me. This isn't about green, its for saving pistons with vortecs.
And yeah, this is one of those get the body done to drive it, which made me want to take the frame being off the car for some bracing, which led me to upgrade the rear end (good thing because it was shot!), which led to more suspension work, which led to... you get the drift. At this rate it'll be a 10 second car before it ever gets on the road. Anyway I figured now would be a good time to run the 1/2" line to the front end.
Thanks again, hopefully I'll post all these miscilaneous pictures into one thread... eventually.

Good luck with the build. I think you are going about it the right way. Take your time, and think things out. If you aren't on a specific time frame, don't rush. If I can be of any help with info or ideas, Pm me, or e-mail me. ...... :lol: ..mickey-d
