gears in my 71 Cutlass?!?!?

^HI, i want to put new gears in my 1971 Cutlass Supreme with 5,7 v8 350/350 no ac.
My vin is: 342571M147213

Ill do an engine rebuild in about 2 months and my car mechanic means that i have to change my gears if i want to run my combo with the best results...
He said (because im from Germany!!!) i dont go higher than 3.23 !

But what diff do i have???

So ive jacked up my baby and turned one wheel ; the other one turns to the opposite site. Ive counted 2,5 wheel turns by 1 shaft turn. its a 10 bolt.
My diff has an Tag on the bottom of the cover but i dont know (there is something like "use limited slip......" )what it means....
My cover looks like the picture below.

My question now is, What diff and what gears do i have and what does this tag means???
AND WHERE CAN I GET GEARS FOR MY REAR AXLE????

PlEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
Greetings from Germany
