Wiring a 1984 iRock Camaro to have a 1992 instrument panel in it

I have a 1984 Camaro I rock with a V-8 I’m trying to put the instrument panel out of a 1992 Camaro RS with a V6. I was wondering on how I could wire it in

On many levels , it simply won't work .

Your first major problem would be that your 1984 cable operated speedometer setup car is not gonna drive the 1992 electronic speedometer dash without modifications
Second major problem , the six cylinder tach is different than the eight cylinder tach , and will not read the correct RPMs when connected to an incorrect engine without modifications
Minor problem will be that the V6 VS V8 oil pressure gauge is scaled differently , so that won't read correctly without a V6 oil pressure sending unit

PS , you have an "IROC" and NOT an "I Rock" !!!! ... IROC was the "International Race Of Champions" , and it has yet to be determined whether , in fact , you rock or not ...
