Bruce,
 
I think E100 will be VERY difficult to start, particularly in cold climate. 
 I've been running E85 in my EVO for the past year and a half. Even though  
Tucson is relatively warm - 40*F low so far - I still have to inject a 
bunch of  extra fuel to get it to fire off. It is my understanding that ethanol 
is very  hard to ignite; that is the primary reason for the 15% gasoline in 
E85.
 
E85 will require 30% more fuel by volume (E100 about 40% more). So, for E85 
 installing injectors that are 30% larger (with a fuel pump that will 
support the  same pressure and the increased flow) should allow the engine to 
run 
pretty well  on the gasoline tune. Then fine tune to 12:1 AFR (gasoline), 
or 12.5:1 if you  are 
brave.

I have 2  questions. 
1: What is needed to run E100  ethanol? 
2: Does anyone make an aluminum  block? 
Thank  you, 
Bruce
