It can be done but it is a big PITA. You will need a lot more than just the bare dash cluster alone to complete the swap. You will need the whole dash along with ALL the wiring from the donor car, a detailed wiring diagram of the 2 dashes, and you will probably have to do some splicing. You will not only have to interface the digital dash with the existing electronics but the HVAC climate control pod as well. I have the stock digital dashes in both my '85 corvette and my '88 gta
. They're both pretty neat but i wouldn't bend over backwords to put either of them in, especially the gta dash because the gauges are imprecise. Hey, but if you want to dump that extra digital dash though i'll take it off your hands for a reasonable price (always good to have a spare with scarce parts like that.....).
