Auto/standard doesn't matter, but the model does. The GT clusters will fit, but the speedo will no longer read right as your car is programmed for a 120 mph speedo, the GT has 150 mph. The other problem with be the RPMs as the GT has a higher RPM range and again it will be off. You'd have to get Ford to reprogram the ECU to sue the GT speedo.
