If a guy ran a 5:00 1600, 10:00 3200, what is the equivalent time for girls. Or vice-versa, if a girl ran a 6:00 and 12:00, what times are equivalent for a guy?

If you are talking purely about genetic potential, check men's vs. women's WR times and use that percentage. Typically men's times are 90% of women's. There may be different shapes to men's and women's bell curves, however. (Women's tend to be curvier and more attractive. But seriously, women seem to have a different distribution, related largely to body fat %)
If you're talking HS and what would score points or make states, then it's more complicated. Girls mature first, so 9th grade conversion will be different than 12th. There's also a selection bias, which can work both ways - different regions and countries have other sports/activites which draw boys or girls in greater or larger numbers.
In any case, probably just looking up results for the kind of meets you're interested in would yield the best results. It's a little tedious, since you'd probably need 10 years of data to get reliable numbers, but MileSplit should make it easier.
Or just use this, if you want instant gratification and aren't concerned with perfect accuracy.
you cant compare anything by what gets to or wins state because every state is different... but also the history of gender in the sport makes cleat that women have not caught up yet, still relatively weak in terms of depth
5:30/ 11:25
The statistics will not line up with genetic potential because women are less interested in sports. You will find women's running (and women's sports in general) to be less than what could be possible genetically at the top, and you will find the depth to be significantly lower than what it is in male sports.
If you're looking at above average runners, the conversion factor is the cube root of 1/phi. That equals about 85.2%.
If you're looking at the very best of the best, the conversion factor approaches the fifth root of 1/phi. That equals about 90.8%.
10:00 : Boy :: 11:44 : Girl
8:30 : Boy :: 9:22 : Girl
Boys are better than girls, girls should stay out of the running business, they belong in the kitchen making me good food. If they can beat a boy, then they can race, but until then, they should stay in the kitchen where god intended them.

Per my Netter's sports medicine reference book of 650 pages: 10% worse than men at equivalent competitive levels.
This is very congruent with studies and anecdotal evidence.
