Not a good plan with alcohol, i know some guys that run a 305 sprint car were the rules mandate stock type piston and heads on alcohol, the biggest problem with them is you have to run atleast a .030 ring gap on the top ring, or you'll pull the top off due to the heat, and that much end gap causes the clyinders to wash down on warm up, and milk the oil pretty bad. It's not easy or cheap to build a good reliable engine to run alcohol. It's kinda like throwing a 200 shot of nitrous on a bone stock, engine, you can do it but for how long :?:
