I recently purchases a 240, with a high compression KA in it. The E85 ethanol gas runs high enough octane for it. But i am unsure about putting unleaded gas into it thinking it may flood easily. What do you think?

If it's set up for e85 it will run rich on normal gas. What engine management was used to switch to ethanol? How high is "high" compression?

If its setup for E85 correctly it will spray ~30 percent more fuel than if it was setup for gas. Its also going to have advanced timing maps that will blow your motor if you run E10.
