Default 4th gen F-Body dash in G-body

I'm looking for ANY and ALL information regarding installing a 98-02 camaro dash board and center console into a 81-88 Monte Carlo. I have an 86 MCSS and wish to do an LY6/4L80E swap within the next few Months. I'm still in the gathering stage for the swap but I have came across a 4th gen dash for cheap. I've seen a few interior swaps floating around but no real solid information.

Thanks, That's the thread that made me want to do the swap.. I'm wondering if there is a write-up anywhere on exactly what needs done.

Nope, But I picked up a dash out of a 97 Camaro today. I didn't know the 97 dash was the same as the 98-02, and as luck would have it I ran into one at the junk yard today so I snatched it up.

If you need info that's in the Helms from the B/G 86 or 87 manuals, I can try and help.

Well the dash is in. Illumination and turn signals work, Now I just have to figure out how to get all the gauges to work. Not worried about the speedometer at the moment. The first gauge of concern is the fuel gauge, Anyone have any pointers?

Illumination, Fuel gauge, headlight switch, and blinkers work. I cant seem to find a Tach signal and also haven't gotten the Volt gauge to read correct. I still have to purchase a temp sensor and oil pressure sensor to get those to work correct.

Sometime this week I'll get some pictures up of the dash.
