Re: help...
Your speedo will be off unless you swap the speedo gears (since I'm assuming your 3.73's aren't in right now). Other than that, I think you're fine. Somebody else might know more, though.

"9. The engine control module (ECM) from the V6 won't work. Use a V8 ECM. (You may be able to just change the PROM, depending upon the V6 & V8.) The V6 tachometer has a different resistance than the V8 tach. You can change the resistor, but it's typically easier to just get a V8 tach."
The rest of the gauges weren't mentioned because they will work. You may have oil pressure range issues, but that's another of the "many possibilities" variables that either you can figure out, or ask about.
