Help with possibly running E85......

I'm interested in having the option to run E85 or straight ethanol in my project. I kind of need answers as soon as possible. The block is assembled and they're finishing up porting my head. So if I need to have things ceramic coated, now is the time.

I know that ethanol eats through aluminum. So my question is, over time will running ethanol damage my forged Wiseco pistons, the aluminum head, or stock 1g intake manifold? Is there anything aluminum that I'm missing? I'd like to run this car for years. Everything to this point has been done correctly to run my B16g at 20+psi daily. I have 880cc injectors, but I'm thinking about running 1600's with DSMLink to make sure I have enough if I ever want to upgrade turbos.

Please let me know if I need to ceramic coat the runners on the head, combustion camber as well, and my pistons.

Thanks for the time and space.
