Definately not. my dads been a ford mech. for 26 years and hes got a few in that the inside of the engine is ate away from running E85 when they aren't supposed to. the E85 engines have more corrosion resistance than regular b\c E85 is really corrosive. this is also true for new cars, even blended some, b\c he got in a 2006 lincoln,forgot what it was sports car they don't make anymore, (bosses car to top that) that was running blend b\c it was cheaper but the engine was still getting ate away.
