e-85
does anyone have pros and cons of converting over to e-85. we have a sbc 355 with 2 .02 valves, 292 501 lift cam, in a 32 austin. our problem is it has a small rad. temp gets to 210 . thought it would let it run cooler. thanks for any help. looking at quick fuel convertion kit.

I used to run 13.5 with a 540 with a Littlefield 1471 @30% overdrive in a Rodek blk. with solid Brodix heads and that was over 20 yrs. ago.
