Just purchased a 98 Camaro dash. My question is the gauge cluster is from a V-6. Will this work on my V-8 ?

 

Also, Should I install the new dash before or after I put my Lt1 in ?

 

Ah come on... no one ??????

 

Wow !! Did the support on here come to a halt ? I've always had good response time in the past, just curious, I'll keep trying, (seems kind of odd talking to myself on here,lol).

 

Yes the cluster will work fine. But your tach will be off because it is for a V-6. Other then that your golden. I am not sure about the 3.8 but with the ls1 clusters you need to do a little extra work to get everything working right. Keep in mind you can swap a cluster from a bird dash into that with no problems.

I am no expert on LT1 swaps but that shouldn't matter at all.

 

 

Thanks guys ! Appreciate the feedback.

 

tach will be off as mentioned, but the 98 isnt going to mate well with the lt1 harness.
youll need a 97 camaro cluster, or a 93-97 bird cluster.

 

Will the 97 Camaro cluster fit ? Does it look the same ?

 

the 97 camaro looks just like the 98-02 camaro cluster, but you can wire in each gauge whereas the ls1 stuff gets a bit tricky in some areas.
in your case, your lt1 harness will plug right in if you get the interior harness along with your swap.

 

i would take out the old dash, do the swap and run your wiring and then put the new dash in or your going to have a nightmare running wires.... also like said above try to get the in car harness so its plug and play

 

You might get lucky I hear bottom end of 97's are fully compatible and that includes digital odometer. As for the LS1 cluster like I said above it can be made to work.

 

I've got a 94 ta cluster that I was going to cut up to use the warning lights.(I have autometer guages) If you want it I'll trade you for the 6 cylinder car cluster. you pay shipping both ways.
