89 iroc lsx swap

I have an 89 iroc that i want to swap a lsx into mostly likely a 5.3l, and i wanna do a 228r cam with ls1 intake and headers. I want to convert it to run e85 for the perfomace gain and because here in iowa it alot cheaper. My question what kind of stuff will I need for the e85... i know i need bigger injectors and a tune but what else?

Re: 89 iroc lsx swap

Surf LStech under the fueling/injection forum. Not many people on TGO are running E85

For more specific answers on how to get the 5.3 into your IROC, check out the LTx/LSx subforum at the top of the page

I moved this to the sub-forum.

There is an LSx swap sticky at the top of both the Engine Swap forum, and the sub-forum.
