So the other part of the deal I thought was very cool is that Chevrolet will be designing one for the chassis as well.

(From the link above)

"Chevrolet will offer a twin-turbocharged direct-injected V6 engine. It will use E85 fuel, part of IndyCar's desire to utilize relevant technology in the years to come. It will make an aerodynamic kit to fit the common chassis built by Dallara."
Sorry, i have to point something out.

No they won't be using E85. Indycar uses Ethanol.

Gasoline was banned from Indy back in the '60's because of several bad accidents.
