You never said what the amps requirement is for the new stove; probably
40A. My code book is at work, but I think (if you really want to run a
new cable) you can use #8 copper cable if it is rated 75°C, or you could
use #6 aluminum SER. Eight gauge wire is a lot easier to work with than
#6 because #8 is much more flexible (it has small strands.)

I would just install the new stove on the old 3-wire circuit and be done
with it. You're trying to make this more difficult than it is. :-)

Best regards,
Bob
