Find directions online,Buy 4.10's, get a 12-pack, and make a day of it. People completely overrate the difficulty of of a gear swap. If you have any mechanical ability and alittle time, you'll be fine.Just get ford racing gears. Backlash and shims won't have to be changed. And hey if you do mess it up that bad, then you can pay someone to fix it.

All of the gears, FRPP or not, have to be properly shimmed and setup. I know this from experence, as a local ford dealer almost destroyed my entire rearend by improperly installing my 3.73s. I had to take it to a mustang shop to get it fixed.
