Yes, after you change the air bleeds,jets and squirters, they will be aruond 30% richer than a gas carb. Other than that I have one and there wasn't much difference, metering blocks may have some larger emussion holes, but those a threaded and could be changed also.

Re: E-85 Carb question
The carburetor metering package is very different between gas and E-85. You could use those parts and then send it to a competent carburetor builder and have it converted to use gasoline. This will most likely involve changing the bleeds in the body, jets, emulsion leg and the boosters. The well sizing in the blocks might be different too. All of this can be and probably is different than what's needed. Give Bobby Oliver at Competition Carburetion (775 331-5609) a call and see what he has to say. He might say that you'll save money and run better by going to a different carburetor all together.

I would just by some metering blocks and use it after changing the bleeds and jets, Boosters maybe diff but should work. I may try this with mine this summer.
