Generally what is needed to change from gasoline to E 85 in an already heavily modified 231 ?

SignUp Now!Chip, injectors and maybe fuep pump and lines.
That is enough for very low 11's. You need to monitor the duty cycle at a safe 11.0 A/F ratio to see where your limit is. Lines are fine if the pumps are not ran together full time.
Have 83 pound injectors and dual electric pump now are the factory lines not big enough to flow the E-85 ? I can understand the control chip.
After a couple dozen or more e-85 conversions on GN's, we learned a lot, and are still learning!
A prime example of a TR with dual in-tank pumps and stock lines put out 525 RWHP on the dyno, and ran 10.2 at the track.
Dang...525 got you a 10.2? What was the weight of the vehicle?
This Limited is a full-weight car with a legal roll bar and some extra reinforcing and of course was and is street legal!

We have discussed many situations like your's in the e-85 forum, and a visit there will provide you with lots more info to help with your ultimate performance goals.
You have never mentioned your goals or usage, street, strip or both, so you really need to evaluate and address them before you jump into a new build.
what are the reason for using e85? I thought 93 gas was good.
