The development of a Modified Perturbation Theory for QCD, introduced in previous works, is continued. The gluon propagator is modified as consequence of a soft gluon pairs condensate in the vacuum. The modified Feynman rules for $\alpha=1$ are shown, and some physical magnitudes calculated with them. The mean value of $G^{2}$, gluon masses and the effective potential are calculated up to the $g^2$ order, improving previous calculations. In connection with the gluon self-energy it follows that the gluonic mass shell becomes tachyonic in the considered approximation. The constituent quarks masses, produced by the influence of the condensate, are also calculated. Results of the order of 1/3 of the nucleon mass, are obtained for the constituent masses of the up and down quarks. In addition, the predicted flavour dependence of the calculated quarks masses turns out to be the appropriate to reproduce the spectrum of the ground states within the various groups of hadronic resonances, through the simple addition of their constituent quark masses. Finally, the generalization of the theory for arbitrary values of the $\alpha$ gauge parameter is explored.
