Yes, but the 90-93 stangs are air bags, so your going to have to unscrew your 85mph speedo and screw it on the 140 speedo, so it wont say 140 but it will be calibrated for 140, just get yoiyur self some white face gauge covers and it will work just fine.

Well then if you want to keep it stock your going have to get the whole cluster, and the 90-93 dash.
