e85

I am planning a new engine build around e85. I want to put together a 406 with higher compression but wondering how much power my 3/8 fuel line will support if I step up to e85 from gas. I have heard the 3/8 will support 550-600 hp gas but I am not sure on e85 because it takes so much more fuel.

I am in the very early planning stages so if you have some ideas fire away.

This will be going in a 71 c10, 29 inch rear tire, 3.73 gears, and is completely a weekend cruise truck. I do plan on hitting the strip this summer though.

So far was thinking scat cast crank, forged scat rods, forged speed pro domed pistons, some Ik 200 or track 1 heads, and topped with an rpm air gap. I haven't thought about a cam yet.
