Funny, youd have to build the engine to just burn Methanol, the fuel you can find, go look at some dirt tack sites and youl find places to buy it. But the engines have to run higher compression, longer duration cams and more advance timeing to start with. Materials won't matter much, your bigger concern is engine mods to run the stuff. And if you never been next to a car running it, all I will tell you, it's enough to make a growen man cry. Also helps to run a magneto and not electronic ignition. This is the one time your better off throwing out the electrnic spark box and just run a straight mag. It's sorta hard to ignite, almost to the point like I said before you need to start it on gasoline.
