Gauge cluster swap question

Anybody know offhand if it's possible to successfully swap out a 1991 RS gauge cluster (Half moon gauges, 110MPH, 7K RPM) with say an older IROC gauge cluster?

I like the look of the full circle gauges look a lot better, and the fact that at 0 the gauges drop to almost vertical. If you know what I'm talking about.

Has anyone done this? Any specific years that will work or won't?

Thanks for your time!

I've noted that members have asked about that swap in the past, but no one to my knowledge has managed the swap (82-89 to 90-92). Since the clusters are different in size and shape, the swap would require major modification to the dash.

Hm, I was afraid so. I just like the looks of those gauges a lot more. I was recently checking out a beat up '89 RS 5.0L that had the full circle gauges inside it and it looked rather similar in size to mine, so I figured I'd ask. Thanks for the reply
