If it's hard to crank or not spinning over fast enough....
Wire starter and ignition separate. Get motor spinning then hit the ignition switch.

Kona hull. rookie pilot
HDrider...... (I'm tempting ya ...) Your leaving at least a 100hp lurking in your bad ass
mill. Colder intake temps, hard to detonate, more timing. Start 3 ranges colder on the
plugs.

Quick update.
A fast blend of the bowls,radiusing guide,no port match yet.
Disapointing ! only picked up 12 cfm at .500. stock valve, and seat.
I'll give clear steps of a,b,c and results. this is step 1 of 3.

HD.... If they can tune the existing set-up they'll be fine. Let me check but Off the top of my head I think it's 10% leaner. Tell em to go for it!!! Alky/E-85 is very forgiving and makes good power even way rich. Lean is NOT mean!!!

I know the boost cooler works!!!! ZBAD a$$ stuff after turbo 2 stage , about 1 1/2 ft from intake manifold dropped temp down to abient or below. My buddy just converted 2 660 centersquiters over to e-85 for 6-71 , BBC deal. He has my 650 dp's right now for the e-85 conv. It is THE $hit!
Most of the benies of methenol with less corrosion. Cheap at the pump. 2.60 a gal. out here. I will never run premium or race gas in a frequently used perfomace set-up.
I could see if he would do your carbs and how much. I think it's aroud a 160 per carb. He is not a rookie! I think quik fuel has a conversion also. Oh When he does it it is spacific for your engine combo. Air bleeds metering blocks etc.

HD do ya carbs or injection? Is it intercooled? If not the snow performance boost coolers work awesome! Staight alky instead of mix is the way to go. We haven't tried spraying the E-85 yet.
Run more timing and boost.
Here's a buddies car I tune. True 10" tire 8.13 et 5800 ft

As I'm workin on the Olds my mind is thinking ....what if it doesn't run like I thought it should.
I'm NOT after top end just the 1st 1/8th mile. This winter the pump'll get done. I've got my old blown alky BBC looking side ways at me for messing with an Olds. Yes it put (uncorrected at 5800ft ) 1058 hp to the tire!! This was a mild tune up. Only 12% over on the blower. This has only .600 lift solid cam.
