I think methanol will require some carb adjustment. Just like ethanol the ideal air/fuel ratio will not be the 13.7 (i think) that gas requres, I think it is closer to 10 to 1. May be able to drill the jets and get good results but you probably won't be able to mix methanol with gas unless you keep the mixture constant and adjust the carb to that mixture. One of the big benefits to methonal is the high octane rating that the flathead won't be able to take advantage of, unless you add a turbo or supercharger.
