Have a few finishing touches to add to the "show" side. Going to fabricate a way to mount it in the dash and wire it up within the next 2 weeks.

 

That looks pretty good! Looking forward to final install pics.

 

i wanna see this

 

are you still using a TPI engine or are you LS1 swapped?

 

Tpi. I wish i had the money to swap a ls1 in it.

 

awesome, post up some "during" pictures of how you did this, i hate the stock cluster, would love to do this swap as well. very interested.

 

bump, give us an update.. really want to know how this turns out

 

Internet has been down at the house. Im takong pics as i go. Should have an update tom or uesday for ya

 

how much do you have to mod for that to work?

 

There is a member who modded his gauge panel to fit a 98-02 gauge cluster. But I would imagine it wouldn't be too much different than this.

 

I dont think its going to work. The Tach input signal comes from the PCM in along with fuel and check engine light. Your speedo should work if you have a voltage driven style. If you dont have the PCM to really match then, i dont think it will work. I think the 93-97 should work

From what ive researched the fuel guage is the only one that gets a signal from the bcm. I have yet to look up the schematics but im sure i can get it sorted out and have everything working.

 

Got the side pieces to cover up most of the space between the guages and housing. Once i got them fairly close to the shape of the edge of the housing i superglued them to the housing. I will use some type of filler to fill the gaps and smooth everything out. Going for a completely factory look.

wiring will definitely be fun, but i have access to schematics of both cars so it shouldnt be too difficult.

 

looking good... cant wait to see it working.. very interested in the schematics on how to make it work

 

bump.. been 11 days.. whats crackin?

 

hey finish this..

im now going 96 LT1... would like to swap in the 97 cluster since it too used the LT1 and is the new style

 

I think he realized that a 98 cluster wont work.

 

correct. 97 will. same style, only not fed through a serial data line. Ive got a **** ton of other projects going on anyways.
