Tach read correct with V6 to V8 swap???

I've got a '89 Firebird that came with a 2.8L V6 and I'm swaping in a '76 500ci Cadillac(V8 ofcourse) and was wondering would the tach still read right? Personally I don't think it will, but I was curious is there anything I can mess with to make it read right? I havn't got the engine ready to put in yet so I've got plenty of time to mess with little things like this and thats why I'm asking.
