You can pm me. On C5's its pretty simple, mostly fuel upgrades like injectors and a bigger pump if necessary since you need about 30% more e85 than gasoline. Despite what some say, the lines are compatible. Ive ran e85 for years with no issues on basically a stock fuel system until recently. Im in the middle of some fuel mods due to HP increase (return style system) so I have a nice list of e85 hoses, fittings and fuel pumps. Id be happy to share those as well as a connection for great prices on fuel pumps. The conversion is easy. If you can turn a wrench Im sure you can most of it yourself and save some money youll just need a tune after.
