First gen interior Okay guys didnt know if this should go in interiors or here, im planning a ls1/t56 swap in my 68 for next winter and heres what im wondering.
-What to do with gauges, I absolutely love those stewart warners that nine ball used in his 69 however i dont have endless $$$, so could the camaro gauge cluster be formed into a 68.... also would like to keep the warning lights
-What type of shifter to use
-How can you adapt a 4th gen console to a first gen
-What pedals to use (i have a th350 so should i buy first gen clutch/brake pedal or adapt the 4th gen, and what about the throttle)
-In going to the 4th gen console are there any shortcuts with the adapting e-brake
-were 4th gens built with non power non heated leather seats?

I think the power/heating/leather all came together, but I haven't found anything specifically saying that yet... Maybe you could get some baseline non-leather seats and re-cover them in leather (maybe even straight off some of the leather seats, if the shape is close enough), though?

I was looking at the covans unit and it looks like a great unit if I were trying to replace the stock units (as it plugs into the stock harness) however wouldnt the ls1 have a stand alone harness, or do the conversion harness adapt the gauges into the factory 68 dash harness, has anyone adapted the stock gaugepod from a ls1 into a first gen? if not I sure as hell want to try
