3.42 rear swap in a t-5 speedo correction?

I have a '92 RS...T-5...305..that I am going to be puting a 350tbi in....
I have access to a rear with 3.42 gears in it..I Have searched and most all the info is for auto cars..Very few I have seen for T-5 especially a later model car...
I've heard drive gears and driven gears and removing tailshaft and all that but most of it is for auto cars I think...
I also heard that you could put something on the vss to recalibrate it
This is the only thing holding my purchase up...I just want my stuff to work right when I install it....lol...I'm sure you guys understand.
I hope this question hasn't been beat up and I missed it..if so I apologize and if I can be pointed in the right direction I'll check it out...thanks guys...Dave
