93-96 to 97+ dash swap

has anyone ever done one? I finally found a 200mph speedo gauge, but its only made for 97-02 gauge clusters. so im planning a dash gauge swap.
does anyone know what all is needed? wiring harness, plastic gauge cover, etc. also, would I be able to program the mileage into the new one since it has a digital odometer instead of the old rollover style? any and all info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

worthless...doesnt help the guy any. so thats how you got 13000 posts.


IMO its not worth anything to have a 200 mph speedo for a car that cant go 200 mph and will hardly see such speeds. its a lotta work but it can be done if your REALLY set on it. and i dont know of any places that will change the speedo. i think you contact the DMV and notify them of odo replacement and they document the mileage of the old one and then of the new one.

I know the 97s have a diff dash, but like you said, lots of people have the misconception. I posted this on another forum and had people trying to correct me sayin that 97s are the same so I figured it would be easier this way cus most people think 93-97=LT1, 98-02=LS1 and thats the only diff in their mind.

i cant touch 200, but when I push past 150 I would like to know where Im at. and as far as changin the odo, im just askin if its poss to change it if i get a new tune.

Greg please tell me you drive that fast in NY...if you do I'll be looking for you-

And BTW- speedo's are rarely that accurate when going that fast- and another thing I think you should be more concentrated on the road than your speedo should you decide to go that fast..
