Just wondering if anyones done a cluster swap from an 87-89 to a newer 90+ cluster? I need some info on whether it's a fairly straight forward swap or if there's a lot of wiring involved.

Any links would be appreciated. Like to know what i'm getting into before I start tearing into my dash.

Thanks.

i dont think you can. different mounting spots. i think the shape of the whole cluster is totally different.

The bottom is different, but I heard that will go in with little modification....hmmm

last summer i bought an instrument cluster out of a 92 gt for my 87 gt without even considering the possibility that they could be differnet. what a huge mistake. i didnt try modding it tohugh, looked at the back and it didnt evne look like it could plug in so i said f*ck it. i took the guts out hoping i could lay the clusters in place in the old shell. noooope. i bet someone who knows what they're doing cna make it work though. i just kept the speedo gear and am gonna just buy the damn faces. i think you can do that, does anyone know?

i did mine to make it a 140 mph speedo all i did was remove all the guts and pu them in my 89 cluster but for spedo i had to open the back up a little look at pic

So, everything works? Looks a little cobbled...maybe that is the only way unless you get a 87-89 140.
