Might want to look at 
http://www.iowacorn.org/ethanol/ethanol_5a.html  Specifically "We do not 
recommend the conversion of a gasoline-only vehicle to operate on E85."

Just some memories from the last set of Gasahol (10%) days:

1) Hope your gas tank is really clean because it will be. I would suggest 
adding a large, easy to replace, gas filter to the line from the gas tank.
2) Think some rubber lines of the sixties had trouble with alcohol fuels, 
this includes fuel line hoses, the diaphram in the fuel pump, and rubber 
parts in the carbs.
3) Going to need *much* richer jets. "Flexible Fuel" vehicles appear to use 
fuel sensors and electronics to correct.
