Boeing 737 best glide speed ??

Can anyone help me out here?
What is the best glide speed for the 737, what speed should you fly in case you lose both engines?
And how do you calculate alttitude lost vs ground distance covered in order to find out which airport is within range and which airport is just unachievable
I couldnt find that anywhere in B737-800 FCOMs and QRH (LOSS OF THRUST ON BOTH ENGINES) asumes that at least one engine is restarted...
Is it there some where and i missed it or is Boeing too optimistic?
