So with all of the procrastination on my build, I have decided to switch to E85. I had a new Pro Systems 820cfm gas carb built for the motor but will need something else. I will probably sell it and by a new E85 carb
Who sells good ones and how do I know what size to get for E85?

Engine is still new and unfired. 468 BBC makes roughly 575hp at crank. 10.4:1 - solid cam roughly .612 lift.
Anything else to keep in mind?

In a year or so I will switch to turbo and blow thru carb. I would do it now but I kinda want to get it running first.

Keep your existing carb and send it to Mark Sullens for an e85 build he is the guru all he does is e85 carbs mine is great.

If your going to switch to turbo just run it on gas for now. If you do switch I would buy a reputable new carb and keep yours. Consider shipping, time, and you still have a new carb which you can sell. Put pen to paper. I switched to alcohol in 2011 w/ no regrets.
