insturment cluster swap?

I have a 84 z28 which has a speedo that only goes to 85mph. was wondering if its possible to swap that with a cluster from an 87 iroc in which the speedo goes to 145.

If your 84 cluster functions as designed, I'd recommend simply swapping the 145 speedo head into your cluster, thus avoiding any possible electrical gremlins.
