Default Stock gears???

I have an 83 GT with a 5.0 and a T-5 world class that came from factory. It has the 7.5in rear end in it. I am wondering what gears came stock in it so I know if I'm gonna need to change them or not. I have heard they put the 2.73's in and also heard they put some 3.55's in. Anyone know which one is true??

+1 8.8 is cheaper to build and stronger

they did not put 3.55's in any, 2.73's, 3.08's or 3.27, since my 85 was an auto it had 3.27's when I got it and rear end code is on the door tag
