In terms of tanks and fuel pumps, you shouldn't have to do anything. I converted a '94 Acura Vigor with 200K miles on it. Been running E85 for a year with no problems.
2 things
1) TBI runs at very low pressure (like 10psi.
2) Injectors do hit a wall on running higher pressures, some more than others.
