1987 R10 LSx Swap Gauge Replacement

I am in the process of doing an LS Swap on my 1987 Chevy. I don't want to keep the factory gauges (they look dated and I need a tach). I know the oil, temp, volt, and gas are an easy swap, but as for the speedo and tach, are they easy to replace or is there more? any suggestions that won't break the bank? Digital Dakota Gauges are nice, but way over my budget. Thanks in advance

I cant talk for Speedo.But I did install a aftermarket Tach. There is a output from the ECM. Mine was tune for corrected output is not I believe you need to adjust your tach for 4 Cyl

Check out Speed Hut. Used them in my ongoing build.
