i was talking to my local mechanic and we were discussing gear ratios. he drove my car after he replaced a pinion bearing. i told him i assume the stock ratio is 3.27. he said he thought it had at least a 3.55 or 3.73. who is right? thank you.

There is a little piece of tin that is attached to the rear end. It will read 8.8 and another number, like 3e73, or 3d27... this is your factory gear ratio...

Yes, stock is 327... the reason he thought they were 355 or 373 is because he probably drives a bowtie and wasn't used to ford power, Ha!
