I would guess that you'll have to customize, modify, replace or Micky Mouse all gauges to get them to work. That's the price you pay for swapping out the factory stuff.

I know youll have to get one of those converter boxes for the speedo. Oil and water you can use just have to get the sending unit and find somewhere to tap in, i have no idea on the tach(dont know if you have one or not) tho
