Default How difficult is it to install new gears

I am looking at some .371 gears and I was wondering, just how difficult it is to install? I have a 91 GT.

Just did gears about a month ago,with a friend of mine. He is a ford mechanic by trade, so it made things alot easier. (plus the lift in his garage!) Its not your average do-it-yourself job, so know he limits of your abilities. If my buddy wasn't such a nice guy, I probably would have paid to get it done, but I learned alot doing it.

if you have to ask how hard it is, you are best off shopping around and finding somewhere reputable for a good price
