To swap the 91/92 style gauges into any other 3rd gen you're going to need to swap out the entire dash. You'll also need to repin the 91/92 dash to work with your 87. There are wires on C-100 (firewall) that will need to be moved around, and also on the computer harness (can't remember the id of that one).

I put a 92 dash in my 84, do a search on here for the thread on it.

It's really not that hard overall, just need to get the diagrams for the harnesses so you can match up the wires.

youll also need the actual dash mounts out of the 92, as the 90+ uses a different style mount
