Has anyone heard anything on a conversion kit for the 5.7l to be able to run E-85. I know that some of the newer models are E-85 compatible, but I was wondering if there was a kit to retrofit the older models 03-05.
I have looked at the net and have not seen much. There is a company in Brazil that makes them, but it is a crazy trying to import them. I would assume that Dodge has the fittings (they just have to replace some of the parts that can be corroded by the ethanol).

If anyone has any leads.. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

 

The safer way would be to trade in your truck
for a Ram with the 4.7 V8 Flex Fuel engine
{which will be considerably more powerful next model year}
but this company does make a conversion kit:

Soon there will be several companies
selling supercharger/turbo conversion kits
that need E85 fuel exclusively
but it it my belief that forged pistons with
a lower compression ratio should be a component
of any such kits

 

Thanks Hank - Now why would the piston on the engine need to be of a lower compression? Is it because of the lower combustion by E-85? I am not very well versed on this, but I am looking into it. Will this conversion damaged a Hemi engine?
