You should budget in for upgraded fuel lines if you are going to run ethanol. Those systems weren't designed to run it from the factory. But with the fuel injection system on the 4.3 you can run alot of fuel through those injectors so you might as well use straight e85. Don't be shocked if you are getting like 15 mpg though.

According to what I have read from SEMA E85 is ok in cars 2001 and newer. Older cars it's not good for them.

If you have everything apart, you might want to at least install fuel system components that are E85 compatible. Ethanol is a bit harsh on rubber and stuff. Once you start running corn through the 4.3 turbo you will never want to go back haha.

Not sure if that is accurate. Mustang from 79-04 all have similar parts. So i doubt it would work with them, and since the trucks share the same parts that wont fly either.

The only thing Ive seen E85 do is swell up the rubber o-rings around the injectors.
