E85 Conversion

What would I need to do to a 2004 CrewCab FX4 (5.4) to get it to run on E85?

(I think I would need to change out the fuel pump and maybe get a new thermostat, or fuel lines???)

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I'm not sure what would need to be done and that's why I'm asking.

(A local gas station just installed an E85 pump with an in ground tank!)

Ok i get it E85= Iowa corn.

Try this. http://www.iowacorn.org/ethanol/ethanol_5a.html
You will need a lot of help to convert the f150 to corn fuel.
It would be easier to trade it in on a factory model that already runs on corn.
