I am looking for transmission ratios. I was able to calculate (ballpark) the ratios in my SLC and W124 but I'm wondering what ratios other cars have. If they are similar that's good but I'd like to know what they are.

I'm looking at swapping the engine in the SLC and I'll need to figure out all my gearing so my rear end makes sense with the transmission I go with.

Generally speaking a V8 car with a 25" OD tire performs well with a 11:1 first and 3:1 or so top gear and I'd like my swap to end up in that range. I feel like the ratios of the 722.3xx in my w124 would work well with a 560 and 3.27 rear end and it would be nice to confirm those are the 560 transmission ratios.
