Stock wheels were 17x8s, so I probably wouldn't go bigger than a 255.

swap in an 4L60E, 4.10 gears, and shift kit. it will smoke that cobra and for less money.
but then again if you want a change then by all means go for the cobra.
dont expect too much out of the box though. the cobra is a great foundation but stock for stock i think the LT1 is faster.
keith you get run down by one too many camaro's? i know a stock 350 that will embarrass that 347 of yours.

i belive stock vs stock the lt1 wins. and personally..i think 4L60Es and crap. if i were to go auto it would be a turbo350. however i prefer manual. yes, at the track with fast cars auto wins, just my preference.
i personally am a chevy guy..but unlike most i like fords. i think mustangs are to common...but i still think they sound better because ford was smart and put true duals on em. chevy didn't leave enough room on the 3rd/4th gens and its a pain to put em on. my reason for switching is because i want a change. i have had 5 camaros and im 22. i don't wreck..i buy and sell. if i get bored of the cobra...ill just do the same thing. this wasn't ment to be a chevy vs ford thing..haha.
i do appreciate all who help though. like i said i should be geting it saturday. i am looking forward to it...even with that high mileage. i figure this....the rear ill rebuild soon anyways when i do gears. new bearings, seals, etc. don't have the worry bout that. the trans...if it gos...i can find for 3-4 hundred if i am desperate. a CHEAP t-56 on my car is around 800 atleast.
but ill be posting pics up when i get it
