As FordFairmont says, change the cog in the gearbox, unless you've got 4.11s or so try this link for calibration.

if you change the gearbox sender, the shift points will also be affected. You need to use a speedo corrector to do it properly, so the ecu still see's the correct speed signal

Change the speedo gears to suit. If you dont know what you need, got to a ford dealer,tell them your diff ratio,the colour of your drive gear(the one inside the gearbox) and they will give you the correct driven gear.
