You will need a lot more than just the complete dash if you plan to make this swap a reality !! Here is a short list of things I can recall off the top of my head from when I swapped the digital dash OUT of an 85 Berlinetta and installed an 86 Z28 dash in it's place:

Heater boxes (both sides of the firewall)
Steering column
Floor console
Wiper motor
Wiring harness from the fusebox to the back
Rear light harness


In my case the firewall connector was pretty close to the same thing the 86 Z was equiped with an LG4 just like the Berlinetta. The only real difference was the wiper motor wiring. In your case there will be more significant differances like fuel injector wiring to the fuse box, fuel guage wiring (if the TPI fuel pump is in the tank) and so on.

Good luck with your swap !!
