Hi guys I'm new here. Greetings from Brazil.

I have been thinking lately about rebuilding a stock 318 (1973), with aftermarket heads (2" intake) and cams (,480 lift).

I want to run E100 on this motor, here in Brazil we have E100 on every gas station an its cheaper then our gas (shity gas btw, poor octane mixed with ethanol and water), but to take advantage of ethanol I need at least 13;1 compression.

What do I need to do to make this engine run safely on this kind of cpr ?

Thanks alot.

 

Pistons and good head gaskets for one.....
Thats a heavy Bio-Fuel for sure...
Keep us posted on how and if that works out...
Cheers

 

yeah if you wanna run a cam with that sort of lift yer gonna need a good set of heads and a bottom end.
