The shape between 90 and 86 is considerably different, but with enough time and effort....

Re: changing gauges.

It'd be easier to swap cars.

Re: changing gauges.

The dash shell and the gauge cluster are just the beginning. You're talkinga bout changing the entire wiring harness, various sensors, and more. You'd be further ahead to sell the car you don't like, and buy one in the style you do like.
