He clearly took some shortcuts. Maybe better to just have him locate a 3.73 rear end that would bolt up. Once saw an F150 facing the wrong way on a 5 lane interstate, missing one rear wheel with axle intact...which was a hundred yards further down on the shoulder. Can you imagine what that would feel like at 70 mph ! Have to be careful not to gold plate every possible aspect on these restorations!
Jerry, you need to find a way to get some of those old racing pictures up on the net. Also, what is the reduction in rpm's, if all else is the same. Is it (4.10/3/73-1) or 10% reduction ?
