The V8 toe in would be 1/16" to 1/8" total, but then again, that would be with no rake and stock wishbones.
Hope you get a better answer than mine!

Alan, your answer is right. 're toe in, should be set the same wether rake or no rake or stock or modified wishbone. I like toe in towards the 1/8", straight lines better, but does "feather" the tread a little bit.
In my opinion.

Forgot this, tire pressure. Something light, A roadster for example, tire pressure around 28 drives much nicer than 30 and higher.
I've found getting the toe in right, caster right (if it's been modified some how) and tire pressure down around 26-28 lb, will allow me to scoot along the big roads with only one hand on the wheel easily, with none of the normal bias ply symptoms. Also corners much better, with good grip. This assumes the tires arnt near fossilized with age, seen that on cars that " drive bad, but bias plys do, I'm gonna upgrade to radials" if you catch my drift.
