here ya go

"Push on the pod from the front; it has clips on the front that holds it down. The clock is wired to the car's power supply; unplug it"

the whole dashboard is a pain to get out, but not hard. you have to drop your steering wheel column (4 bolts holding it up after you remove the 2 cover plates) and you have to remove your glove compartment+both kick panels+center console (including shifter bezel of course) radio/ac bezel, front seat reccomended passenger not needed but helps a lot, and the defrost vent ontop of the dash (just pops out). there are 3 bolts on either side of the dash (identical locations but on different sides) then there are a total of 6 around the shifter area, and 3 ontop of the dash. thats how to get the whole dash out.

saleen gauge pod is the cpillar one right? should be able to run them through a crack between the dash and frame, and hook it up to your light switch for power. then to get it to the engine bay you might have to drill a hole in the firewall if there isnt one for wires already (some fords have a hole in them for audio stuff i guess)
