Default Methabol Versus Alcohol........Please help

I recently bought a roller dragster that was set up for methanol, and we just picked up another with hilborn (stacks) mechanical injection set up for alcohol. They are both small block chevys 421 and a 377

I am trying to figure out what the difference between alcohol and methanol is.

and which fuel to run in both.

Typically I would run a dominatoR with gasoline on my 421, But on Methanol / Alcohol would i want that big of a carb?

Is one easier on the motor than the other?

do you have to change the oil alot?

do i need to use additives or special oil?

do you have to change timing to run these versus where it would be on race fuel?

Where could i buy this around central Ohio?

I know this is alot of questions, but any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you for any help,
Josh
