I think you should be fine running e85 without a built engine. Stock crank and rods are forged.
Hoping this movement gets squashed soon though: E85 is the most retarded 'alternative fuel' ever created and inflates edible corn prices in places where people need it as a foodsource.

^ well if you are that "baller" to spend $7.00 a gallon for 105 then go for it! I would rather run clean burning fule and pay $2.50 a gallon for 105 octane. E85 is great and works very well in are cars

And as far as it being a 'clean burning' fuel get real. No cat != clean anything.
Are cars should have cats so are air is pleasant to breath.

just a quick google search and found this current news article as backing.
"We anticipate appreciation in corn prices over the next year owing to rising fuel-related demand and an expected return to trend yields, which will likely leave U.S. and global stocks-to-use ratios in decline." said the investment bank. "Current prices are providing a compelling opportunity for consumers to layer in upside protection."
Corn's stocks-to-use ratio is a gauge of supply and demand, and the "fuel-related" demand Goldman references is an allusion to the amount of ethanol that's blended with regular gasoline. The U.S. government could soon mandate that regular gasoline be comprised of 15% ethanol, up from 10% currently. That would introduce another 7 billion gallons of corn-fed fuel to the gasoline market.

right, but I'm talking about it as a sustainable fuel source, the primary reason for it's implementation. Yeah it's great to have 105 octane at 2.50/gal but I cringe whenever another pump is added the the e85 infrastructure. Until corn is eliminated from ethanol production I'm going to keep baggin on the fuel.
