Default Running E85 with 11:1 pistons in 289
Reading about alcohol burning race engines, and about to rebuild my Hi Po 289 with 11:1 compression ratio.

I need to buy a carb anyway, and hard lines are a given, however can I run 11:1 compression ratio with a mild cam in a 289 and not have knocking issues. Seems like this would be fine with anything over 50 50 Alcohol fuel.

Anyone doing this?
