Best guess: 3.70, being a 300L6 I would think a customer would have likely ordered that gear.

What does the door tag say, last 2 digits on the second line.
09 would be 3.70.
08=3.50

Cool, you should be able to get that 300-6 driving nicely. And your mileage shouldnt kill you if its tuned up and is a decent engine.
(Think 15 mpg). :maybe:
