Will a rotary run on E-85?

You need about 20% more fuel at idle and cruise. And 40% more at wot. So if you bought an intake and 500cfm carb went 40% larger than stock jet size secondaries and went about 20% larger on the primaries you would be golden. With that said I have no idea what those jet sizes are I neer looked that far into it.
Gas would be cheaper per gallon, but fuel mileage would decrese. So you wouldn't really save any money on MPG. Although you could crank the hell out of the timing and definatly gain more power. I had thought about it, then decided on a 302 swap instead.
Let us know if you do it!

I have run blends of E-85 and gasoline to make a mix of ~E-40, that is about as far as you can go before it won't be drivable- and not very good at that level without richer jets, larger accerator volume squrt.
