Default Can a Trans Am and Camaro Gage cluster be interchanged??

As stated, are they the same shaped so that they could be swapped from a 99 Trans Am into a V-6 99 camaro? I would love to keep my 155 speedo and such.

i am almost positive it will FIT. But I'm not sure if they are interchangeable between the LS1s and the V6's

I am swapping my whole drivetrain into said v-6 car and of course the wiring harness/cpu if that helps with further info. From the ground up the camaro has ALL SS PARTS It basically is a SS with a v-6.

Why would it not work then if you're swapping everything over. Pretty sure it fits, measure it if you're worried

I swapped a camaro cluster into a trans am so I'm sure it would work. Just make sure you have all the right bulbs and don't have an Uh oh like me and get half your gauges red and half blue

can't do it with trans am gauges, only camaro ones. I switched to the camaro because I absolutely hated the trans am gauges in the day with the ugly yellow needles and **** Camaro ones are little bit cleaner looking and i still have my T/A bezel!

There's got to be a way that you can change the bulbs in the T/A's. I am sure someone has done it.
