Does the 98 cluster have a digital odometer?

Well I suppose that doesn't matter if you're swapping the engine, you'll be wanting to swap the wiring for the instrument cluster, too (you'll need to), then it will work fine.

Yes it will bolt in place, if the 98 has the digital odometer, the connections that are there will PROBABLY work, but you won't have a battery meter, I'm not sure how it will react to having the boost gauge there. Unless you have the ECU from the same cobra that the instrument cluster came from, it won't start (PATS issues, but the PATS is so damn easy to bypass anyway, you just need a resistor and need to cut a wire, simple stuff).

98 has mechanical speedo etc and 99 up doesn't so its not a direct swap.

The Cobra cluster is pretty expensive.......Ugh!

I do not have a digital odometer. I did not think of that issue............
