yes, I think you need gears even though some will argue that point.
Install would be easy if you aren't swapping springs. Like half the time. Oh, and BUY A PULLEY!! LOL J/K

Saying the car "need" gears with a 226ish cam is a little extreme, but they are a bonus on any cammed motor. I personally wouldn't go over a 3:73 with the F4 anyway, it makes PLENTY of tq.

They're close, the F14 has slgithly more duration and lift, but they have completely different lobe designs.

i plan on it this time. i'll be keeping the springs the same but going with hardened pushrods.
