So, I want to convert my '92 mustang to E85
What all do I have to do in order to make this happen?
Also, about how much will this cost and is it worth it?
Any help would be awesome!!
Thanks guys,
Charles

There's no point in switching then. Unless you wanna go green but be prepared to fill your tank up more often.

Larger injectors 60lbs?, teflon fuel lines for longevity, larger fuel pump, and custom tune. [ 2013-08-20, 08:57 PM: Message edited by: SVTCOBRAFOREVER ]

Exactly what he said ^^^. But you will hardly see any gains. For the money, you're better off doing a HCI setup.

Really thats it? So if he did hci, would it then be worth it? How much will he gain? How,does smog ca smog work?

60lbs injectors is WAY overkill on a stock engine.

Yes that's it foolio. But I'm not shure on the exact gains but you'll gain some good rwhp considering it's only fuel you're changing. And from my understanding it burns cleaner so it should pass smog easier considering you have all your equipment and CARB E.O #'s for everything else(H/C/I).

Most aluminum heads are smog legal, so that's not a problem. A decent mild cam would work out fine for smog (trickflow stage 1 /E303).. I personally like the tfs1. And any decent intake. All should have CARB E.O. numbers. As long as you have your carb numbers, you'll be fine for smog. Just remember to keep your egr, smog pump and cats with a smog legal shorty header.

I'm very pleased with all the responses. I really appreciate it guys!! My goal is to do a HCI setup, but I'm waiting till I get my car painted first. Then ill move on to the internals.
THEN, maybe ill move on to corn fuel!! Hahahaha

If I were you I'd worry about paint last. Nothing worse than scratching a new paint job.

Yup! My car had a nice paint job when I bought it. After all my mods and shit, the paint looks a little beat. And I'm still not done with it so I really have to repaint it after I'm done
