I am thinking of switching my bracket racer over to run on methanol and I have some questions for anybody who has switched their 300 Ford six from gasoline to methanol.
1. What kind of performance improvement did it make? Dyno sheet, e.t., lap times, MPH increase?
2. If you run carbs what did you do to the carbs? I presume a change to billet aluminum methanol metering blocks and down-leg methanol boosters. What about floats? What else? (I currently have (3) modified 500 Holleys on there.)
3. Which fuel pump did you use? Did you keep the gas pump? What pressure worked best?
4. How does it start? Do you ever have to prime it to get it started? Do you have an on-board gasoline primer / warm-up fuel tank? Any other issues due to the corrosive / toxic nature of this fuel?
I have talked with other alky racers about their experiences but none who race 300s or any other inline six for that matter so I am looking for some first hand inliner insight. Thank you.
