it might be easier to buy a 91-92 and go backwards...
but it can be done... several people have done it, but I Believe you have to re-wire either the new dash or your car to work with the dash...

thanks. thats what I was wondering.I wanted to by a 91-92 camaro and put the older style dash in it. I dont like the 91-92 dash its to rounded for me, but they alreddy have the ground effects, and wing(z28), and the speed density tpi! I just like the older dash that looks like im in a cockpit of an airplane.

The body style had not changed so I would not see why it would not work. The only thing is you would have to go to cable speedo like what I have and I would have to goto VSS like you have.

it might be pretty striaght forward if you could get a whole car, then transfer whatever you needed... I did that to do my LG4 to TPI setup... really easy, took some time, but it was not hard at all...
Hint: Step 1, take your project car and take everything off of it that will be replaced, Step 2, Start transferring parts one at a time from your doner car to the project car.
