Question Converting FB Nikki to E85?

We have an Ethanol plant right here in Longview, as well as a few stations. I've done some research on converting the EFI Crown Vic and that seems easy enough, but what about the RX-7? Can a 12A even benefit from 114RON Octane? Will the alcohol hurt the seals? If those are easily answered and E85 seems like a good pick, then what do I have to do to the carb? I know I'll have to richen it up 15-20% and probably replace some gaskets and what not. Anybody played with this stuff before?
