Trans Am to Camaro Instrument Cluster

Hey all, I have a 86 Camaro, but it's on a 92 Trans Am Chassis I believe. I think the previous owner crashes the trans am and put a 86 Camaro body on the crashed trans am stuff. So my interior is a trans am, I want to convert it back to Camaro most things are pretty cut and dry but the instrument cluster has me scratching my head. It seems like the trans am cluster is longer than the Camaro's so my question is what do I need to convert the cluster back to Camaro and is there any after market plug in and play cluster that I can buy?

Then it's a Trans Am with a Camaro front end. Put back a Trans Am front end, sell it and buy a Camaro.

The Trans Am body has different quarter panels (including the shape of the wheel arches) and tail panel. While a Camaro front end and fenders will fit, it will not match the rest of the car.
