I went through this with a c6 a few years ago and I ended up getting a small little gear box made up that went inline with the cable seams to work just fine. I can't remember where I got it from though.

Might be as easy as pulling the speedo cable from the gearbox, slide a clip out, and change the gear. Seems to me the Fords are color coded for axle ratio. I'm not positive-but the gears may even be generic from standard to auto, and so forth.
A good Ford parts guy should be able to help ya.
