Considering this gauge cluster setup

I'm considering getting this instrument cluster setup for my 87 IROC when I do my T56 swap (need new gauges as well as a T56). Buddy of mine put the 2nd gen version into his early 70s Z28 and it looks great. I looked on their site and found that they do have one for the 3rd gens.

Anyone put this into theirs? If so how difficult was it? I've always been more mechanically inclined than electrically.

Re: Considering this gauge cluster setup

You don't have to pay that much though. I got my Setup for $365. I paid $140 for the Bezel (Shipped) and went to O'rielly for the gauges. I used the iEquus Gauges. They look like they're good quality and they were inexpensive. Here's a Shot of my Bezel. I JUST assembled it like 30 Minutes before i read your post. I'll let you know how this goes. I can't install it right away because the car is at the shop with transmission problems. Besides, my Speedometer Cable is Burned through courtesy of the exhaust pipe. I got a new cable but have to take it back because the gauge i have is threaded, Not clip on like OEM.

Wow both of those clusters look amazing. One day I will do the swap but since my car hasnt seen pavement unless its to get on a trailer in 4 years I just want to drive the thing at the moment. But I saved the link to classic dash for sure. Thanks guys
