Best Answer

As far as running charactoristics, a little rougher idle, maybe a hesitation under acceleration. Ethanol is alcohol. To get a race motor to run alcohol, all that you have to do is replace the brass in your carb, with stainless. That's it. No mechanical, or long term issues, and, alcohol runs cooler. Less friction.
