Changing speedos (the sequel)

I have an '83 T/A and I'm thinking of switching from the cable-driven speedo (85mph) to electronic one (120-145mph). Has anyone done this before? Is it possible/easy etc.?
Please let me know.

This is just my advice...

But fear the electronic speedo like the plague. It is so hard to work with and right now I wish I ahd the cable driven one...
