Well honestly it's amazing the car runs. You really need to know what they did to what. The 94/95 GT guage cluster is what should be in there, however it will need the apropriate linkage to the transmission and speedo gear to read correctly.

For the 8.8" rear all you need is the rear axle itself. You will reuse what you have.

pretty good wright up on the cluster swap ^

The 7.5 rear diff is plenty capable of handling a v8 in front of it as long as its not exceding about 300 hp. I had a 95 v6 converted over to a 68 carbed 302 . I kept the 7.5 rear end in it and it never had a problem. And I apreciated the 2:73 stock gears in the 7.5 when it came to cruising. You can put a 3:08 on up to a 4:10 in the 7.5. but if you wanna start adding alot of power to it you will want the 8.8 just swap the whole rear end out to an 8.8 as they basically bolt on in the same manner.
