you can't...unless you get a speedo calibration box from someone that does cop cars

your car would need like a 25 tooth speedo gear and they only make 23's and those will break in an aod

it requires changing the drive gear and driven gear, an aod needs the output shaft replaced to change the drive gear

the largest gear you can get is a 21 tooth(purple) for an aod , and those are for 3.27's (w/ your tranny that has a 8t drive gear)

how far off depends on what gearset you had b4.....but you could be anywhere from 10-20%off

Here is a post on which gear for what.

https://mustangforums.com/m_201146/tm.htm

You can get a 23 tooth gear gear from this site as well as others. It's close to the bottom.
